Creating Regions

Command: REGION

The Region command converts closed entities into a solid entity.

You can create regions from closed entities, such as polylines, polygons, circles, ellipses, closed splines and donuts.

Creating regions typically has no visible effect on a drawing. However, if the original entity had a width or lineweight, that information is lost when you create the region.

1. Do one of the following:

   • Click the Region tool button () in the Draw toolbar.
   • Choose Region in the Draw menu.
   • Type Region in the command bar, then press Enter.

2. Select the entities, then right click or press Enter.
   The command bar displays how many regions have been created.
