Compound objects like polylines (PLINE), dimensions (DIMSTYLE), hatches (HATCH ) or block references (BLOCK) can be converted into individual elements.     Explode Dimensions and Hatches When a dimension or a hatch is exploded (XPLODE), the... Read More

To change the shape of polyline (PLINE) objects or to join separate polylines, you can access editing operations of PEDIT . Polylines can be edited by closing and opening them, or moving, adding and deleting vertices. Joined Polyline Segments If a... Read More

A joined sequence of arcs (ARC)and lines (LINE), treated as a single entity is called a polyline (PLINE). A polyline can be drawn with any LINETYPE and its width can be kept constant or tapered with over the length of any segment. You can modify the... Read More
