Summary
Select two edges that define the mesh. The edges can be lines, arcs, splines,
circles, or polylines. If one of the edges is closed, then the other edge must
also be closed. You can also use a point as one edge for either an open or a
closed curve.
The MESHTYPE (page 1369) system variable sets which type of mesh is created.
Mesh objects are created by default. Set the variable to 0 to create legacy
polyface or polygon mesh.
For closed curves, the selection does not matter. If the curve is a circle, the
ruled mesh begins at the 0-degree quadrant point, as determined by the current
X axis plus the current value of the
SNAPANG (page 1439) system variable. For
closed polylines, the ruled mesh starts at the last vertex and proceeds backward
along the segments of the polyline. Creating a ruled mesh between a circle
