Boundary Command

BOUNDARY (COMMAND)

Boundary command creates region or polylines from the closed areas. 

There two methods to work with boundary option 
  1. Boundary creation dialog box
  2. "-Boundary" Command.

1. BOUNDARY CREATION DIALOG BOX.

Command: BOUNDARY // Following dialog box will open.


Pick Points

Determines a boundary from existing objects that form an enclosed 

area around the specified point.

Island Detection

Controls whether the BOUNDARY command detects all internal 

closed boundaries, called islands, in addition to the objects enclosing

the pick point.

Object Type

Controls the type of the new boundary object. BOUNDARY creates

the boundary as a region or a polyline object.

Boundary Set

Defines the set of objects BOUNDARY analyzes when defining a

boundary from a specified point.

Current Viewport

Defines the boundary set from everything in the current viewport

extents. Selecting this option discards any current boundary set.

New

Prompts you to select the objects that define the boundary set.

BOUNDARY includes only the objects that can be used to create a

region or closed polyline when it constructs the new boundary set.


2. "-BOUNDARY" COMMAND.

Command: -BOUNDARY

If you enter -BOUNDARY at the Command prompt, the following 

prompts are displayed.

Internal Point


Creates regions or polylines from existing objects that form enclosed

areas. Specify a point inside the area.

Advanced Options


Sets the method BOUNDARY uses to create the boundary.


Boundary Set

Defines the set of objects the -BOUNDARY command analyzes

when it creates a boundary from a specified point. For information

about defining a boundary set at the Command prompt, see the

HATCH Command prompt option.


Island Detection


Specifies whether -BOUNDARY uses all objects within the

outermost boundary as additional boundary objects.


Object Type

Specifies the type of object that -BOUNDARY creates.

  • Region
  • Polyline

From command

From:  fro (enter) From command is used to draw a line or any objects base point at a specific distance from a particular reference point.

Co-ordinate systems

Hello Friends,             This is my first blog on AutoCAD tutorials. I won’t waste time on overview of AutoCAD and its uses which everyone knows. I will start directly with Co-ordinate systems of AutoCAD.             Co-ordinates systems are not of more use left in recent versions but still knowledge of co-ordinate systems is important as this keeps your mind sharp.  ABOUT CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM:     If you want to make any object in autocad you have two options.  1. you can directly click at any know point or  2. you can specify co ordinates of the point in command box. CARTESIAN AND POLAR CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM: Cartesian co ordinate system works only on linear distance. it have 3 axis X,Y,Z. when u specify any point with (+ or -) sign it prompts autocad to move along positive axis or negative axis at a specified distance. while working in 2D drafting, ...
