Block to polyline batch conversion

ksakethk — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 16:25:39 GMT

Hello,

I have a drawing file with multiple blocks. I need to convert these blocks into polylines so these polylines can be recognised in another application.

Changing each block into polyline using explode command is easy but time consuming since I have many blocks. Is there command or small line of code that converts all of the blocks to polylines.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Saketh

You can try WMFOUT/WMFIN. But you might lose some preciosity.

I would definitely prefer EXPLODE over it.

You might try NCOPY. I use this to pull out pieces of blocks, then you can keep your block intact also.

If it is time consuming to run Explode on each block, then run Explode and then enter All or select multiple blocks.

Add an example file with your blocks.
