How to convert one or more splines to polylines in AutoCAD while specifying the polyline precision. Solution:Use the FLATTEN command on the spline(s) if Express Tools are installed (not available for AutoCAD LT
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...
An old-style polyline might contain vertices that were not created explicitly; these auxiliary vertices were inserted automatically by the AutoCAD PEDIT command's Fit and Spline options. You can safely ignore these additional vertices when stepping through a polyline with entnext because changes to ...
PressingTfor thetypeoption allows you to change what is created with your sketch. By default, this is set to draw lines, which frankly speaking I think is just stupid. If you want to fill up your drawing with tiny little individual lines then this is the perfect option for you... I t...
The Helix curve function in Catia V5 only allows a helix on an axis or a line. But there is a trick to create a helix on a spline/curve or polyline.
To answer you @darryl_sumirana.da2, My solution is more convenient with an array that has been exploded. It is only a second manipulation. In such a case, i was meaning that tangency constraint can only apply to a polyline and not to a spline. Flatten easily turn a spline t...
2) Change the “View Resolution” in the command line. VIEWRES <enter> Y <enter> to acccept “fast zooms” then set a value up to 20,000. The lower the value, the more blocky circles and arcs will appear. With newer computers, you should not have any problems settings this to the...

, I have to consider an another workaround. So in order to achieve that goal, I tried to convert my 3d polylines into splines in AutoCAD using controlled vertices. The final result seems to be ok but it is not exact or accurate. I would like pretty much to have an exact spl...
