Creating Closed Polylines from a Polygon Topology
You can create closed polylines from a polygon topology. This is useful if you
want to give data to an AutoCAD user so the user can hatch polygonal areas.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. There is no equivalent for
geospatial feature data.
While creating closed polylines from polygon topology, you can create a group
containing all the elements of complex areas, such as islands. If the islands
themselves have nested islands or other polygons, these nested polygons will
form a separate grouping automatically, creating different levels of grouping.
If two or more inner polygons are not nested but share the same outer
boundary, they will be treated as one group.
You can manipulate grouped data with the GROUP command. For more
information, see GROUP in the AutoCAD Help.
You can also copy the object data and the external database links held in the
centroids to the closed polylines.
