To Create Plots From Objects

AutoCAD objects that you can convert to plots include polygons, closed polylines, and other closed sequences of lines or arcs.

Select objects in the current drawing or from an xref. The objects you select must be free of drawing errors, such as gaps at intersection points.

Tip: To remove drawing errors from source geometry, use the drawing cleanup tools in AutoCAD Map 3D before you import the objects.
