Editing Objects with AutoCAD - Section 4
20.2 Contours
When we create a shading, by default it is independent of the outline that delimits it. We can also choose to keep the outline as a polyline, or as a region. Both cases, with or without contour, we can corroborate easily if we move the shading object.
Regardless of these options, typical of the command used to create shadows, we had already mentioned that the button list has an option called Contour, which allows us to detect the objects that delimit a closed area and also create a polyline or a region.
