Anyone have a LISP routine that will create a border around selected objects?
Lke shrinkwrap?
Thanks.
You might also ask that question in the LISP forum. You might get better results.

Good Luck!
Simply draw a loose rectangle around your objects and use the BOUNDARY command, then erase the outer rectangles.
Nope, not like WIPEOUT. Easily stated, I need a line drawn around the outside edges of selected blocks.
I posted a cheap attempt at shrinkwrapping using the boundary command here:

Jeffrey, i tried your shrinkwrap lisp but I get a two regions. I delete the region that fills the bounding box and my other region "fills" in my block. Is there any way to explode a region down to a polyline. It's got the right profile, I just need an outer polyline, not a filled region...
This posting is like 3 years old and Jeffery may no longer subscribe to it and is unaware that you actually did reply back. You should use @jefferypsanders to get their attention.

That was a long time ago but I am still around. When I originally posted, I mentioned it was a cheap attempt at shrink wrapping using the boundary command. I emphasize the word "cheap".
I took a look at your drawing which is a 3D drawing. I do not use 3D at all (not much anyway). Does the boundary command even work in 3d? I tried the shrinkwrap program on your model and it didn't seem to do anything. I do not have a lot of time on my hands so I probably will not do anything with this request unless you can make it easier on me. I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Examples?

There is another free powerful tool for creating outline (shrink wrapping) of complex 2D-drawing.
