Will trimming a cat's claws prevent them from ruining your furniture with their scratching?

nothing wrong with cutting cats claws my vet always does it when she sees my cat for whatever reason and i do it myself too. unfortunately doesn't stop em clawing furniture! my cat is done often and still claws my sofa and stair railing grrrrrrrrr i did get her a scratch post but she never uses it, great fun ayy
