    Is there a way to determine an area bounded by a spline?

    Thanks

  2. Area works for me

    Thanks for the response.

    I can get an area by selecting the spline alone ... I assume this is what
    you are referring to, however I don't want the area of the spline.

    What I am after is obtaining an area bounded on one side by a spline and on
    the other by a pline. I can't explode the spline and going through to
    select all the points in the spline is rather tedius especially since there
    are arcs in it.

    Normally I just create a pline around the area I want and then get the area
    of the pline.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Lee

    Dean,

    Thanks for the help.

    Turns out that I had multiple copies of the spline on-top of itself (not
    sure how I did that) so the boundary command didn't work initially however
    once I figured that out and did the necessary work the boundary command
    worked like a charm.

    Thanks.

    Is there a way to explode a spline?

    Workaround:

    Just break the SPLINE then rejoin it using PEDIT...

    Hope this helps...

    Huh? Breaking a spline just creates *two* splines ... and PEDIT doesn't work
    on splines.
