Hi all,

This month, we’re featuring an article on how to Create Boundaries Efficiently.

In this article, you'll see how you can easily use the Boundary feature to create closed polylines for foundation plans, profiles for 3D mechanical design, and plat maps. Check it out!

Also be sure to check out the other articles in the Have You Tried . . . series. We’re always open to your feedback and suggestions. Kudos go to joshmowry02 for inspiring this month’s edition. Thank you, Josh.

OK, Wish I knew about this sooner. Super helpful way to create boundary shapes and you can opt to create a polyline. To improve efficiency, turn off all unnecessary layers or layer with 'clutter' around the external perimeter, use the layer off tool, (layoff), the cleaner the exterior area the faster it can analyse the perimeter to create the boundary. Also useful for mechanical part profiles.
