closed planar loops (outer boundaries and holes of a region). If more than two
curves share an endpoint, the resulting region might be arbitrary.
The boundary of the region consists of end-connected curves where each point
shares only two edges. All intersections and self-intersecting curves are rejected.
If a selected polyline has been smoothed by either the Spline or Fit option of
PEDIT (page 779), the resulting region contains the line or arc geometry of the
smoothed polyline. The polyline is not converted to a spline object.
REGION deletes the original objects after converting them to regions unless
the system variable
DELOBJ (page 1251) is set to 0. If the original objects were
hatched, hatch associativity is lost. To restore associativity, rehatch the region.

Summary
Named objects are categories of items such as layers, dimension styles, table
styles, text styles, and so on. It is strongly recommended that you create
standard naming conventions for them and save them in drawing template
files.
The
Rename dialog box (page 893) is displayed.
If you enter -rename at the Command prompt,
options are displayed (page
