Polyline To Polygon Autocad

Draw polylines with straight or curved segments. Define the width for the polyline segments and taper the width across the segment. Draw polygons specifying the number of sides and size.

Draw a Polyline with Straight Segments

Feb 02, 2015  This is my first semester using AutoCAD (architecture student here). On my file I have some polylines that are the streets. So, they look like rectangles and curves, etc. I am working also on a 3D Model, and what I have to do next is to extrude them. The problem is that those polylines are not polygons, and so, they are not solids when I. AutoCAD users of all types can appreciate the value of closed polylines. Of course in creating them most users use a procedure involving the PEDIT command. But did you know there was an easier way? Hidden away in AutoCAD is the BOUNDARY command. Think of the BOUNDARY command as a HATCH command that draws polylines (and regions) rather than. AutoCAD users of all types can appreciate the value of closed polylines. Of course in creating them most users use a procedure involving the PEDIT command. But did you know there was an easier way? Hidden away in AutoCAD is the BOUNDARY command. Think of the BOUNDARY command as a HATCH command that draws polylines (and regions) rather than hatches. Let me explain.

Polyline
  1. Click Home tabDraw panelPolyline. Find
  2. Specify the first point of the polyline.
  3. Specify the endpoint of the first segment.
  4. Continue specifying segment endpoints as needed.
  5. Press Enter to end, or enter c to close the polyline.

You can convert all, or a selection of, the closed polylines in an existing drawing to polygon objects. When you convert a closed polyline, the original polyline is erased and is replaced with a polygon object. To convert polylines to polygons. Set the PROXYGRAPHICS system variable to 0. On the command line, enter mappolylinetopolygon. Polyline edit (PE)- Join - Select all poly lines - Close. Fillet - Radius 0,0 - Multiple - Click the ends of all the polylines to join them together then either polyline edit - close or open the properties panel and select close. AutoCAD Tutorial about converting lines in a polyline using PEDIT. The video also shows examples of what cannot be converted to a sincle polyline. Now the layers are setup because we're going to be looking at three different object types in AutoCAD which are polylines, polygons and splines. Now you'll notice if I go to the layers panel in.

Note: To start a polyline at the endpoint of the last polyline drawn, start the command again and press Enter at the Specify Start Point prompt.

Draw a Wide Polyline

  1. Click Home tabDraw panelPolyline. Find
  2. Specify the first point of the polyline.
  3. Enter w (Width)
  4. Enter the starting width of the segment.
  5. Specify the ending width of the segment using one of the following methods:
    • To create a segment of equal width, press Enter.
    • To create a tapering or increasing segment, enter a different width.
  6. Specify the endpoint of the segment.
  7. Continue specifying segment endpoints as needed.
  8. Press Enter to end, or enter c to close the polyline.

Draw a Polyline with Straight and Curved Segments

  1. Click Home tabDraw panelPolyline. Find
  2. Specify the first point of the polyline.
  3. Specify the endpoint of the first segment.
  4. Switch to Arc mode by entering a (Arc) at the Command prompt.
  5. Return to Line mode by entering L (Line).
  6. Specify additional segments as needed.
  7. Press Enter to end, or enter c to close the polyline.

Draw a Rectangle

  1. Click Home tabDraw panelRectangle. Find
  2. Specify the first corner of the rectangle.
  3. Specify the diagonal corner of the rectangle.

Draw a Polygon

Convert Line To Polygon

  1. Click Home tabDraw panelPolygon. Find
  2. Enter the number of sides.
  3. Specify the center of the polygon.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Enter i to specify a polygon inscribed within a circle.
    • Enter c to specify a polygon circumscribed about a circle.
  5. Enter the radius length.

Draw a Polygon by Specifying One Edge

Convert Polyline To Polygon Autocad

  1. Click Home tabDraw panelPolygon. Find
  2. Enter the number of sides.
  3. Enter e (Edge).
  4. Specify the start point for one polygon segment.
  5. Specify the endpoint of the polygon segment.

Draw a Boundary Polyline

  1. Click Home tabDraw panelBoundary. Find
  2. In the Boundary Creation dialog box, Object Type list, select Polyline.
  3. Click Pick Points. Specify points within each area to form a boundary polyline for each.
  4. Press Enter to create the boundary polylines and end the command.
    Note: The boundary polyline overlaps the objects used to create it.
