AutoCad BPOLY command

AutoCad BPOLY command

AutoCad BPOLY command

(OP)
Hi Guys

I might look like I am trying to teach my granny to suck eggs but I have been using AutoCad for about ten years now and only recently came across the BPOLY command.

BPOLY will automatically create a closed polyline of any internal area.

EG If you have a square made up of four individual lines and you type BPOLY and pick point inside the square it will create a polyline of the square automatically, leaving the original lines untouched and creating the closed polyline over the top.

Most of you probably know this already, but it had somehow avoided me over the years and now I find it invaluable.

I hope that others will find this command of use.

Pass on the knowledge.

Regards - The Welshman

RE: AutoCad BPOLY command

If you haven't already, you might want to play with the BOUNDARY command as well.  With the PLINE setting it functions like BPOLY.  

But you can make REGIONs with it as well, you can then UNION the regions into one REGION.  Then use that for AREA data.
