SPLINES! to polylines - alot of them

[Anonymous]

I have recieved a file full of contours that are splines.  I know I can indiviually convert them to plines through the "convert to polyline" command under "splinedit".  I just don't want to do it for all of them. 

Any way to highlight all existing contours and convert to plines?

Thanks!

How about this:

1. Type Pedit

2. Type 'M" for multiple

3. Select all of them

4. Say yes to "Convert lines, arcs, and splines to polylines"

5. Set your precision

This will keep them at elevation as well.

In case you were not aware, in 2013 you can now add splines as breakline data to surfaces if that helps.

Check out the flatten command limits the introduced vertices.

Thank you, saved a lot of time!

Try the FLATTEN command. It gives polylines with less number of segments, which makes drawing lighter.
