Create Wide Polylines

You can draw polylines of various widths by using the Width and Halfwidth

options. You can set the width of individual segments and make them taper

gradually from one width to another. These options become available after

you specify a starting point for the polyline.

The Width and Halfwidth options set the width of the next polyline segments

you draw. Widths greater than zero produce wide lines, which are filled if Fill

mode is on and outlined if Fill mode is off.

Intersections of adjacent wide segments are usually beveled. However,

nontangent arc segments, acute angles, or segments that use a dash-dot

linetype are not beveled.

Create Polylines from the Boundaries of Objects

You can create a polyline from the boundaries of objects that form a closed

area with BOUNDARY. A polyline created using this method is a separate

object, distinct from the objects used to create it.

To expedite the boundary selection process in large or complex drawings, you

can specify a group of boundary candidates, called a boundary set. You create

this set by selecting the objects you want to use define the boundary.
