Polyline to Polygon
Click the Features | Change | Change To | Polyline to Polygon command or right-click on a polyline and click Polyline to Polygon to convert one or more selected polylines or spline polylines into polygons. Each selected polyline is converted to a new separate polygon. To close the polygon, the first point and last point in the polyline are connected with a new line.
The new polygon uses the default fill properties and retains the line properties from the polyline. If the object name has not been changed from the default Polyline, the object is renamed Polygon. If the object name had been altered, the custom object name is retained.
