Using islands and island detection

Islands are closed loops that reside inside other closed loops. IntelliCAD provides island-detection options so that you can specify which islands, if any, should be considered in the area selection for a boundary.

The following figure shows a rectangular polyline with two islands. The circle is referred to as the outer island, and the octagon is referred to as a nested island.
