You can convert a line to a polygon in AutoCAD using the "PEDIT" command.
Here's how:
- Select the line you want to convert to a polygon.
- Type "PEDIT" in the command line and press Enter.
- Select "Close" from the PEDIT options. This will close the line, creating a polygon.
Example:
Let's say you have a simple line that represents the perimeter of a room. You can use the PEDIT command to convert this line into a polygon, which you can then use to calculate the room's area.
Additional Tips:
- You can also use the "POLYGON" command to create a polygon from scratch.
- If you have multiple lines that form a closed shape, you can use the "JOIN" command to combine them into a single polygon.
Remember: The PEDIT command can be used to edit existing polygons as well. You can use it to add or remove vertices, change the shape of the polygon, and more.
