Is there a trace tool?

[APE Design Ctr]

I use many 3D symbols in a complete drawing that I 'snap' together to create a modular product.

Is there a way to trace an outline of a series of symbols attached together in say a plan view, and get a 2D outline? (To outline how much space this product will take up)

Thanks

If your symbols are composed of polygons there is an easy method:

Pull off a copy of the modular piece, convert to groups, ungroup, add suface.

For 3D symbols use "Convert copy to lines", Hidden Line option, and then Compose.
