Changing the AEC Polygon Style
Use this procedure to change the style of one or more AEC Polygons. The style controls the width and justification of
the AEC Polygon edges. The justification determines whether the edges are displayed inside, outside, or centered on
the vertices of the AEC Polygon. The style can also control the display properties of the AEC Polygon.
1 Double-click the AEC Polygon you want to change.
2 On the Properties palette, expand Basic, and expand Location.
3 Select an AEC Polygon style.
Merging Two AEC Polygons
Use this procedure to merge two or more AEC Polygons in a drawing. When you merge two AEC Polygons that overlap
each other, their common boundary is combined to form the boundary of the merged AEC Polygon.
NOTE When you merge one AEC Polygon with another, the properties of the merged AEC Polygon are identical to the
properties of the first selected AEC Polygon.
1 Create two overlapping AEC Polygons. For more information, see “ Creating an AEC Polygon ” on page 980.
2 Select one of the AEC Polygons to be merged, right-click, and click AEC Modify Tools
➤
Merge.
