# Extract polyline from polygon

Learn how to extract polylines from polygons

When you need **both linear and area measurements** of an object, there's no need for multiple operations. You can extract polylines from polygons in just one click:

  
1\. Click on the polygon from which you want to extract a polyline, then select the **'Extract Polyline'** icon. You can perform this operation simultaneously with multiple polygons.

2\. Set the parameters of the extracted polyline:

-   Choose to save it in the same group as the initial polygon or outside the group as a separate measurement.
    
-   Choose to split it into segments or leave it as a single polyline.
    
-   Select its color.

3\. After this, you'll see both the created polygon and the extracted polyline in your Measurement manager.
