Chapter 25 Converting & Exploding Entity Types
Assume you want to fill a circle with a solid color. While you cannot fill a
circle, you can convert the circle to a polygon. The new entity still looks like
a circle, but because it has the properties of a polygon, you can now fill it
with a solid color. AutoSketch can make many other conversions:
Explode converts an entity, such as a dimension, marker, symbol or polyline
to its component entities. For instance, in an exploded door symbol you
could select the individual lines and arcs that make up the door. This is
particularly useful when you need to create symbols using existing symbols
as a basis.
Entity conversion: Convert

arc open curve, polyline, or elliptical arc
circle closed curve, polygon, or ellipse
polyline curve or polygon
polygon curve or polyline
curve polyline or polygon
line(s) polyline (by joining to other entities)
TrueType text polygons
NOTE A minimum number of vertices may be required for conversion.
Entity conversion: Explode
Entity Explode to
polyline lines or arcs
polygon lines or arcs or multiple polygons
markers symbols
dimensions base entities
symbols base entities
