How Do I Convert a Line to a Polygon in AutoCAD?

Published in AutoCAD 1 min read

You can convert a line to a polygon in AutoCAD using the "PEDIT" command.

Here's how:

  1. Select the line you want to convert to a polygon.
  2. Type "PEDIT" in the command line and press Enter.
  3. 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.
