Creating objects from enclosed areas
You can create objects from areas enclosed by other objects. For example, if you draw a freehand line that crosses over itself to create loops,
you can create an object from the loop shape. You can create an object in the shape of the area if the area is completely enclosed, regardless
of the number of surrounding shapes and lines.
For more information about creating objects from enclosed areas, see “Applying fills to areas” on page 315.
The Smart fill tool is used to enclose the areas created by the two spiral objects (left), so that new objects are created from
the enclosed areas. In this example, the original spiral objects are deleted (right), and the newly created objects remain.
Creating a boundary around selected objects
You can automatically create a path around selected objects on a layer to create a boundary. This boundary can be used for various
purposes, such as to produce keylines or cut lines.
The boundary is created by a closed path that follows the shape of the selected objects. The default fill and outline properties apply to the
object created by the boundary.
