    Default Converting 2D solids to Polylines

    Howdy –

    I am in the process of cleaning up a client provided “site map” to match our printing standards, and came across this issue. On the site map, where a building should be, they have a 2D solid object. No bounding box, no lines, nothing. Just a “loose” Solid. I need to convert these to only the outline, (so they print as something other than a big block o’ ink) and was wondering if there is a way to convert these solids to a polyline. Note that these are not solid hatches (in which case I can recreate boundary) but simple 2D solids.
    I could go in and trace the corners, but did I mention there are 400 +/- of them?

    Thanks.

    been a long time seem that there is a place in map while doing a query you can specify outline only

    Hi, there is a lisp routine called "shrinkwrap.lsp" that will do the trick.
    Here is the link: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showth...-as-a-polyline
