| These three polylines are created from original linework by clicking at shown locations |
This is a streamlined analog of the AutoCAD command Boundary. The Carlson version is faster and works in many cases where Boundary fails. Boundary Polyline supports a snap tolerance, which means that you may specify a maximum gap to close when creating a closed polyline.
To create closed polylines from any existing linework, simply select all entities you would like to use and specify desired snap tolerance. Then click inside openings you would like to trace and the routine will generate corresponding closed polylines. The duplicate polylines are detected and not created, so that clicking more than once in the same area does not change anything. These new polylines are always created in the current layer. Layers of the original linework do not matter.
Select polylines: pick an entities to be used
Enter snap tolerance or press Enter for none:
Pick an internal point: pick the points to enclose
