🔍 CAD Tip: Instantly Recreate a Polyline Boundary from Any Hatch in Caddie
Ever opened a consultant’s drawing only to find the only reliable geometry left is… the hatch?
We’ve all been there. Boundaries deleted. Lines exploded. Gaps everywhere.
Caddie turns that headache into a one‑click fix.

🎯 Why this matters for Architects, Surveyors, Engineers & CAD Technicians

1️⃣ Recover lost geometry
If the original boundary has been deleted or broken, the hatch still knows the truth.
Caddie lets you instantly recreate a clean, closed polyline—no tracing, no guesswork.

2️⃣ Get accurate areas & quantities
Once you’ve got a polyline, you can measure, schedule, tag, export, and calculate with confidence.
Perfect for floor areas, site boundaries, take‑offs, and QS workflows.

3️⃣ Edit the shape like a pro
Hatches are passive. Polylines are powerful.
Offset, fillet, trim, extrude—Caddie gives you editable geometry in seconds.

4️⃣ Seamless BIM, GIS & analysis workflows
QGIS, energy modelling, CNC, structural tools…
They all need closed polylines, not hatches.
Caddie gives you the geometry those systems expect.

5️⃣ Clean up messy drawings fast
Legacy DWGs, PDF imports, consultant chaos—Caddie cuts through the noise.
Extract the boundary, delete the junk, and move on.

6️⃣ Essential for survey & civil workflows
Site extents, easements, drainage zones, contours—if it’s hatched, Caddie can turn it into precise, exportable geometry for GPS, total stations, and volume calculations.
