The LISP application CADstudio BBox automatically draws either permanent or temporary bounding boxes (rectangles or circles or boxes or cylinders) to selected 2D and 3D objects in an AutoCAD drawing. BoundingBoxes can highlight the extent (boundary) of a given entity.

The BBox command creates bounding boxes as new entities in the current layer. You can choose between Rectangles, Circles, 3D Boxes and Cylinders. You can choose between individual bounding boxes or an "outer" box for all selected objects. Local UCS is considered.

The BBox1 command is an interactive version. It draws red bounding boxes for all objects which are hovered-over by your mouse cursor. These temporary lines are not part of the drawing and they are erased on any screen redraw (F7/F7, Redraw).

The free application BBox can be downloaded from DL Download.
