[GstarCAD 2027](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/(Commands).md) → [I](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/I/(I).md)
## Function Description:
This command is used to imprint a 2D geometry on a 3D solid or surface, creating additional edges on planar faces. 2D geometry located on a face or the intersection of a 3D solid with a face can be combined with that face to create additional edges. In order to get the imprint, the imprinted object must intersect with one or more faces on the selected object. The IMPRINT command is limited to the following objects: arcs, circles, lines, 2D polylines, 3D polylines, ellipses, splines, regions, bodies, and 3D solids.
