VBA in autocad-need to draw boundary

VBA in autocad-need to draw boundary

VBA in autocad-need to draw boundary

(OP)
Does anyone know any VBA code for drawing a boundary in autocad? I have been unable to find any VBA commands specific to drawing a boundary other than using the command line in the following way:

ThisDrawing.SendCommand "-boundary" & vbCr

and using the start point as a point inside the area I want to draw the boundary around. Any other options or is autocad's VBA limited with respect to boundary commands?

Ultimately, I want to get the area and other geometric properties of the boundary. Does VBA have a better type of line/area object that is better suited than a boundary which would explain the limited commands?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Greg
