-AreaBoundary

Use the -AreaBoundary command to create a PolyLine or a Region from an enclosed area.

It is the command window variant of the AreaBoundary command.

To create area boundaries:

1. Type -AreaBoundary at the command prompt.

2. Do one of the following:

   • In the graphics area, specify an internal point.

     You need at least one point inside a closed area to create a boundary entity. To create other boundary entities, specify additional internal points.

   • Specify an option:

     • Boundary settings.

       • Boundary type. Specify the resulting entity type for the boundary:

         • PolyLine. Creates PolyLine boundaries.

         • Region. Creates Region boundaries.

       • Boundary group. Specify an option:

         • Everything. Establishes the boundary set from everything currently visible in the drawing window.

         • Specify entities. In the graphics area, specify entities and press Enter.

       • Internal regions. Detects internal closed areas that are completely within the boundary area:

         • Yes. Finds internal regions.

         • No. Ignores internal regions.

     • Press Enter to exit specifying options.

3. Repeat step 2 as needed.

4. Press Enter.
