EXPLODING POLYLINE

How to explode polylines to polylines?

When exploding polyline, it becomes individual lines but want to keep the same properties of polyline when exploding.

Want to avoid doing PEDIT, and selecting one by one lines to convert the lines to polyline.

Hi,

you can't keep the polyline-special properties,

but you don't have to do the pedit part one by one.

Explode

Pedit

Multiple

(and IF the question appears, say yes)

thats all.

Try the PSD command defined in PolylineSubDivide.lsp, >here<.

You can add Previous as selection after the Multiple option, which will even catch all the pieces if you Exploded multiple Polylines at once. BUT: That will return the Lines and Arcs from Exploding Polylines back into being independent Polylines, but all non-zero segment width(s) will be lost. The PSD command preserves them.
