UNIP – Union Polylines into One Outer Boundary (Free AutoCAD LISP)

11th August 2026

FREE AUTOCAD LISP

UNIP — merge overlapping shapes into a single outer polyline

Select overlapping closed polylines and UNIP replaces the tangle with one polyline tracing the outer perimeter — the union of all the shapes, as a single closed boundary.

Perfect for building plot outlines from touching parcels, or one clean frame around overlapping footprints.
