2 On the command line, enter mappolylinetopolygon (page 1817). Press
Enter.
3 If you already had a selection set, the selected closed polylines are
converted. If you did not have a selection set, select the polylines to
convert. Press Enter.
Each closed polyline in the selection set is converted. If the polyline
belongs to a group, only the first (outermost) polyline is converted. Other
polylines in the group are copied into the polygon as additional
boundaries and the polygon is rebalanced.
When objects are converted to polygons, they use the color or hatch set by
the
MPFILL command (page 978).

Converting Polygon Topology to Polygons
You can create polygons from a polygon topology. The polygon topology is
not changed.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects. There is no equivalent for geospatial
feature data.
When exporting objects to other formats, use polygons to preserve information
about islands, holes, or discontinuous polygons.
Here are some typical situations in which you may want to create polygons
from a polygon topology.
