Description

Similar to the generate-outlines command (used to replace crossing strings with perimeters outlining adjacent areas), but uses the first string used in the outlining process to derive attributes for the remaining strings.

How to Use

1. Run the Command.

2. Select the string whose attributes are to be copied, and all other subsequent overlapping closed strings that define the outline required.

3. A new [Outlines] object will be created in memory where all string data is represented by the COLOUR, LSTYLE and SYMBOL attributes of the originally selected string.
