Spoil By Interior Text

This command creates closed polylines assigned spoil names using selected interior text and surrounding linework. The text is used as the spoil name. For each text, the program finds the bounding linework to create the closed polyline for the spoil area.

In the options dialog, set the Site Name to assign the spoil polylines and set the Layer Name for the polylines. The Snap Tolerance is the amount of gap in the linework to close automatically.
