creating a polyline by picking an internal point without using the hatch tool

Hi everyone,

My question might have an obvious answer but I couldn't find it after seeking here.

I would like to create a polyline (and or region) by picking an internal point of a close loop just as it can be done using the hatch tool but without using it.

At the moment I open the hatch tool, check "retain boundaries" and then delete the hatch.

Is there a way to do it directly?

thanks in advance for your answers.

the _BOUNDARY command is what you need 😉

Thanks for the super fast reply @tramber

I was certain there were a way, need to acquire the basics a bit more in depth...

Have a good day!
