-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.
