autocad mechanical control to be used on normal autocad

[MaxdjCAD]

Bye to all,
I would need an info:
having to solve the problem of a customer, I found a command on autocad mechanical 2006 which is called "external link" in the case "_amcontout". Since it is a mechanical command I ask you is the possibility to use this command on the 2008 normal autocad?? If not, does any similar command always exist on normal autocad 2008? ?

Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I'm still not practical about this forum, someone already answered "no"? ?

In the meantime. Welcome to the forum... even if a minimum of presentation is always appreciated. . .
Anyway, back to the question... I believe that the command closest to what you mean is "contour"... to create only the outer boundary, you can bypass the problem by enclosing the region that interests you with a rectangle and click in the area between the newly created rectangle and the objects of that you have to get the contour. .
Try and let him know if that's what you're looking for...

Meanwhile, I'm sorry if I didn't write 2 lines on me, but it's the first time I enrolled in a forum. However I work as a computer systemist in unix environment (in specific aix). I worked as a designer/designer for 12 years on autocad/solidworks/katia/rhino environments. in my current work may happen activities that require a small part of autocad use.
returning to the problem, I had already analyzed the boundary command, only that it has difference of the external boundary command, I must first create an area, something perhaps solveable, but the problem and that, having to select many grids in an area, with the contour command creates many areas, one inside the other, of various measures, to senconda of the intersections, for each grid therefore I have to in a second moment delete the more internal areas and leaving the outer one.
Since I have to create a lisp command that rallies other commands I cannot go by hand to eliminate the inner areas.
I don't know if I made you feel good about the problem.
but according to you, is it possible to import in normal autocad a mechanical command?

Thank you very much and still excuse for forgetting.
