Desired AutoCAD Map/Land Desktop Tools

 

1.) These programs contain a tool known as "SHRINKWRAP" which simply allows you to select numerous lines and automatically joins/closes the lines, making them a closed polyline shape or

envelope. Does anyone know of a way to get this tool into plain AutoCAD?

 

 

2.) These programs also contain a simple fast tool for selecting similar objects known as "select similar" For example if you select a leader and the text attached to this leader and you right click to

pull up the menu of numerous tools, on this list you will see the "select similar" tool. When you choose this tool the program automatically selects all the leaders with attached text

located in the drawing. Does anyone know if there is a way to get this tool in plain AutoCAD?

 

Thank You

For question 2: I'm not sure if LT has it, but try out quick select.

Shrinkwrap? Never heard of it.

 

I thought regular AutoCAD had select similar...
