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.
Welcome to 'ReoCAD' Enter the New way of learning the most famous 'CAD Software' (AutoCAD) Worldwide.SUBSCRIBE to start learning anything you would love to.
When using the HATCH command the user has the option to define a hatch “boundary” by “Picking Points”. In using that method you would of course select a point to the inside of the area you want to hatch.
The BOUNDARY command uses the same “Pick Points” procedure the HATCH command uses. The only difference is the HATCH command fills the area with a user defined pattern or hatch. The BOUNDARY command will create a closed polyline representing the area you selected.
Being in the civil field I use this command quite frequently when defining parcels in Land Desktop. Using the BOUNDARY command I can quickly click an internal point within each parcel, creating a closed polyline, and finally add it to the Parcel Manager.

Introduction
Learning to use a CAD system is similar to learning a new language. It is necessary to begin with the basic alphabet and learn how to use it correctly and effectively through practice. This will require learning some new concepts and skills as well as learning a different vocabulary. All CAD systems create designs using basic geometric entities. Many of the constructions used in technical designs are based upon two-dimensional planar geometry. The method and number of operations that are required to accomplish the constructions are different from one system to another. In order to become effective in using a CAD system, we must learn to create geometric entities quickly and accurately. In learning to use a CAD system, lines and circles are the first two, and perhaps the most important two, geometric entities that one should master the skills of creating and modifying. Straight lines and circles are used in almost all technical designs. In examining the different types of planar geometric entities, the importance of lines and circles becomes obvious. Triangles and polygons are planar figures bounded by straight lines. Ellipses and splines can be constructed by connecting arcs with different radii. As one gains some experience in creating lines and circles, similar procedures can be applied to create other geometric entities. In this chapter, the different ways of creating lines and circles in AutoCAD 2007 are examined.

3. Select Dont Show me this again and click OK to continue.
Note that AutoCAD automatically assigns generic name, Drawing X, as new drawings are created. In our example, AutoCAD opened the graphics window using the default system units and assigned the drawing name Drawing1.

Drawing Units Setup
Every object we construct in a CAD system is measured in units. We should determine the value of the units within the CAD system before creating the first geometric entities.
Copyrighted Material1. In the pull-down menus, select: [Format] [Units]
Copyrighted Material2. In the Drawing Units dialog box, set the Length Type to Decimal. This will set the measurement to the default English units, inches.
Copyrighted Material3. Set the Precision to two digits after the decimal point as shown in the above figure. 4. Pick OK to exit the Drawing Units dialog box.

Drawing Area Setup
Next, we will set up the Drawing Limits; setting the Drawing Limits controls the extents of the display of the grid. It also serves as a visual reference that marks the working area. It can also be used to prevent construction outside the grid limits and as a plot option that defines an area to be plotted/printed. Note that this setting does not limit the region for geometry construction. 1. In the pull-down menus, select: [Format] [Drawing Limits]

4. On your own, move the graphic cursor near the upper-right comer inside the drawing area and note that the drawing area is unchanged. (The Drawing Limits command is used to set the drawing area; but the display will not be adjusted until a display command is used.)

The Zoom All command will adjust the display so that all objects in the drawing are displayed to be as large as possible. If no objects are constructed, the Drawing Limits are used to adjust the current viewport.

2. Move the graphics cursor to the first icon in the Draw toolbar. This icon is the Line icon. A help-tip box appears next to the cursor and a brief description of the icon is displayed at the bottom of the AutoCAD drawing screen: Creates Straight line segments: LINE.
3. Select the icon by clicking once with the left-mouse-button, which will activate the Line command.
4. In the Info Palette window, click To draw lines to open the AutoCAD Help window and get a more detailed explanation on the procedure.

The general procedure to create a line in AutoCAD is displayed in the Info Palette window.
5. Click on Close button located at the upper left corner of the Info Palette window as shown.
6. In the command prompt area, near the bottom of the AutoCAD drawing screen, the message _line Specify first point: is displayed. AutoCAD expects us to identify the starting location of a straight line. Move the graphics cursor inside the graphics window and watch the display of the coordinates of the graphics cursor at the bottom of the AutoCAD drawing screen. The three numbers represent the location of the cursor in the X, Y, and Z directions. We can treat the graphics window as if it was a piece of paper and we are using the graphics cursor as if it were a pencil with which to draw.

We will create a freehand sketch of a fivepoint star using the Line command. Do not be overly concerned with the actual size or the accuracy of your freehand sketch. This exercise is to give you a feel for the AutoCAD 2007 user interface.

7. We will start at a location near the bottom of the graphics window. Left-click once to position the starting point of our first line. This will be point 1 of our sketch. The two numbers, displayed next to the cursor, represent the current cursor position. Note that the same two numbers are also displayed at the lower left corner of the AutoCAD main window. The displaying of tooltips is known as the Dynamic Input option. Tooltips are displayed near the cursor, which are dynamically updated as the cursor moves.

8. Next move the cursor upward and toward the right side of point 1. Notice the rubber-band line that follows the graphics cursor in the graphics window. Left-click again (point 2) and we have created the first line of our sketch.

The two numbers, displayed next to the cursor, represent the distance and angle of the current cursor position relative to the previously selected location on the screen. This feature is also part of the Dynamic Input option. A more detailed discussion on how to utilize this feature is presented in Chapter 3 of this text.
