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.

  • Polyline

How to draw objects faster with perfect precision in AutoCAD | Object snap| polar tracking | Tracking method | Direct distance entry

 Hello Friends, This blog covers topic basesd on object snap tracking, polar tracking, direct distance entry, tracking method for drafting drawing without any any errors at faster speed.  OBJECT SNAP TRACKING: Object snap tracking (F11) works when object snap option (F3) is kept on. object snap tracks various points of object such as end point, mid point, intersection of two objects etc. they are also used to draw parallel lines and perpendicular lines with to respect to a given object.  You can get object snap and object snap tracking option under drafting settings for which you can press "DS" in command box. below diagram shows all the snap points which Autotrack uses. While tracking any objects a "+" sign is displayed on tracking point with a green extension line with a "x" mark. POLAR TRACKING: In autoCAD ortho mode makes it possible to track in vertical or horizontal direction with increment angle as 0, 90, 180, 270. how ever we can set out increme...

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, ...
