Hi Folks,
F/X Cad and allaround CAD newbie here. Thanks to the great webinars I have quickly gotten up to speed on a lot of the use of Land F/X however I am running into a conundrum?

In general how do you designate where one feature ends and another begins. For example in a lawn where there is a path going through it - Would you make the line work for the path be on a path layer, or the boundary of the lawn? One solution recommended to me by a friend is to copy the line work and superimpose it on top of eachother. One set would be the edge of the lawn, the other the edge of the path.

Would the solution to doing this be to Copy the entire set of line work and put it in a dummy layer that I could extract from?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Thomas,
The best solution if you're using refnote areas or planting areas to quickly calculate those hatch areas, or even just placing hatches, is to work with closed polylines as much as possible. There will be some overlap as a result, which is fine.

You can start drafting with just lines, and then even use the BOUNDARY tool to create close polylines that perfectly hug the edge of your path, and then associate your hatch with the closed polyline created by BOUNDARY.
