I am using AutoCAD 2015 and I want to explode a Centerline Polyline Linetype. Any ideas?

Yes, I want to explode the Linetype. I am exporting out to a KMZ file, but I would like to have the Centerlines / Hidden Lines stay as such.
Hello,
I just tried using WMFOUT/WMFIN as R.K. suggested, then exploding the resulting block reference and it appears to work. Hopefully that worked for you too.
Thanks,
WMFOUT/WMFIN doesn't seem to work properly on large polylines. Here's how middle portion of 6km long dashed polyline looks like with start and end segments being positioned correctly (moved and scaled). Middle line segments seem to be somewhat randomly rotated and little misoriented. The biggest distortion in the picture is 0.35m at the middle bottom (line is 3m, gap is 9m). Red is original, green is a product of WMF operations.
WMFIN/WFMOUT basically takes a snapshot of what is on the screen and converts it to vector. So the further out you are zoomed, the less resolution of the snapshot and the less accurate the re-imported vectors will be.
I had zoomed to an object before performing WMFOUT so obviously the object was too large... (or my monitor too small)
