Turning enclosed lines into a shape?

EvanShultz

 Is there an existing way (I will assume using SKILL) to turn an area enclosed by lines into a shape on any given layer? In my specific application, I am bringing in a DXF drawing and I'd like to take the areas in the DXF file and make them shapes.

  •  Hi Dave,

    I'd like to do the same thing with IDF imports from Pro/E, which don't come in as shapes. Compose Shape is exactly the functionality I was looking for, but I want to avoid manual user interaction and compose the shape in SKILL.

     I am able to do it if the objType is polygon by using axlDB2Path and then axlDBCreateShape. But if the objType is path, I'm stuck.

    Would you mind sharing your SKILL routines? Rather than me trying to reinvent the wheel...
