Shani Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 please can someone advise me how to convert connected lines (arcs and straight) to a polygon so the area inside can be hatched. the 'convert to polygons' command doesn't work in this way, it changes the arcs to polylines.

Jonathan Pickup Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 select all the lines and arcs, then use the Compose command from the Tool menu Quote Link to comment
Marshall Wright Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 If I want to do the same thing as Shani.... Can I use either the Compose or Group command interchangably? Do they do the same thing or do the handle symbols and other items differently? Thanks in advance. Marshall Quote Link to comment

No, they are very different. The Compose command will combine multiple connected objects into a single object, with a single set of properties. You can fill the resulting outline, extrude it, and so on. The Group command will make a group object which contains those objects. You can then enter the group to edit the individual objects, ungroup it to put the original objects back in the drawing, and so on. Quote Link to comment
