How to convert one or more splines to polylines in AutoCAD while specifying the polyline precision. Use the FLATTEN command on the spline(s) if Express Tools are installed (not available for AutoCAD LT) (see How to install or uninstall Express Tools in A
Let’s say we need to create anARRAYPATH in AutoCAD, if we create our path usingthe LINE command, the path will be made of many line segments, To use this command you need to have all lines converted to a single object. You will then need to convert Line to Polyline. What is a Po...
The letter ‘C’ on the top is a spline, whereas the bottom image is a polyline. In this case, the polyline is more compact than the spline. Image source:TCICorp.com Finally, there are some vector editing actions that you just can’t do to a spline (e.g. changing the width). Of...
This principle of construction of segments in AutoCAD is very important for further work on drawing, because there are no gaps between segments. Hatching will not "spill out" through gaps between segments and we can always convert lines from segments in program, for example, into polyline. segme...
In the "options" step of the export wizard, you can export the spline as a polyline. IIRC, in AutoCAD a polyline was a series of connected lines and arcs treated as a single object. This option might result in what you want. If it does not, you could export the NX drawing out ...
Spline fit can use line and arc segments, or only linear ones, depending on the settings.Nearly closed paths become closed polylines.Replaces circles with a polyline of a pair of arc segments. This is useful for specifying the direction of the path to be traversed by the cutter on the ...
So command _PEDIT can't join them, command _JOIN thinks that is different Z-information, so it creates a SPLINE thinking that is geometry free in 3D space. I don't see any fast option (which has to recreate the polyline in the "other" coordinate system) besides of recreating the view...
If you spline fit a polyline it turns it into a 2d polyline so I'm not sure if this method was used for the contour lines. BTW... does anyone know why or when a 2d polyline would be used. To me they are just the same thing but with different context menus. Any help would be ...
You can also convert component entities in conversion (in this example, block reference is selected). Client Testimonials "I’m very impressed with dwgConvert. Now I can stop using the Segs custom lisp in AutoCAD to convert arcs to polylines! Your software works like a charm." ...
Presuming AutoCAD. Explode everything down to just lines. We'll want this later. Use the Boundary command. I had bad luck this time with islands so had to click once in each and every triangle. Doesn't take long. Set it to make polylines. Use Quick Select to select all the plines ...
