Path Graphics

Path graphics are elements that combine selected open elements, such as lines, H/V lines, polylines, curves, and arcs, into a single closed graphic element.

A path graphic depends on the:

• Order in which you drew the elements. Each element is linked to the next element by z-order. The z-order of the elements is the order shown in the Elements List.

• Direction in which you drew its elements. The ending point of one element is connected to the starting point of the next element.

The properties of the elements contained within a path graphic are retained. When you break a path graphic, the elements it contains appear as they did before you created the path graphic.

A path graphic has the same properties as a rectangle, ellipse, or polygon. These properties are lost when you break the path.
