Create a Boundary (Closed Polygon) Around a Point : CP_BOUNDARY – CADPower Command

Summary

The CP_BOUNDARY command in CADPower provides a robust solution for creating closed boundaries around points and automatically placing centroid points or blocks within those boundaries. This tool is ideal for applications in GIS, mapping, and area planning where defined boundaries and centroid annotations are essential.

CADPower -> Build Tools -> General -> Create a boundary (closed polygon) around a point

Key features include:

1. Boundary Creation:
   • Create closed Polylines or Regions around selected points or objects to define boundaries efficiently.
2. Centroid Placement:
   • Place Points or Blocks at the centroid of the created boundary for easy identification and annotation.
3. Block Insertion Options:
   • Define and place a specific block at the centroid, with customizable scale factor and rotation angle for accurate placement.
4. Area Annotation:
   • Automatically populate the Area Attribute field with the calculated area of the boundary polygon, providing quick access to area data.
5. Object Data Integration:
   • Support for associating object data or area fields with the boundary polygon, making it easier to manage metadata and integrate with GIS or database systems.
6. Layer Management:
   • Specify a dedicated layer for the boundary polygon (e.g., POLYGON_BOUNDARY) to keep the drawing organized and easily editable.
7. Customization Options:
   • Flexible insertion settings:
     • Scale Factor: Adjust the size of the inserted block or point.
     • Rotation Angle: Rotate the block to align with drawing requirements.
8. User Assistance:
   • Integrated help and video tutorials accessible directly from the interface ensure ease of use and quick learning.

Use Case:

The CP_BOUNDARY command is particularly useful for professionals working in surveying, urban planning, GIS mapping, and property delineation, providing a quick and precise way to create boundaries and annotate centroid points or blocks.
