Exploding Compound Objects
You can convert a compound object, such as a polyline, dimension, hatch, or block reference, into individual elements.
You can explode a compound object, such as a polyline, dimension,
hatch, or block reference, to convert it into individual elements. For
example, exploding a polyline breaks it down to simple lines and arcs.
Exploding a block reference or an associative dimension replaces it with
copies of the objects that compose the block or dimension.
Explode Dimensions and Hatches
When you explode a dimension or a hatch, all associativity is lost and
the dimension or hatch object is replaced by individual objects such as
lines, text, points, and 2D solids. To explode dimensions automatically
when you create them, set the DIMASSOC system variable to 0.
Explode Polylines
When you explode a polyline, any associated width information is
discarded. The resulting lines and arcs follow the polyline's
centerline. If you explode a block that contains a polyline, you need to
explode the polyline separately. If you explode a donut, its width
becomes 0.
Explode Block References
If you explode a block with attributes, the attribute values are lost,
leaving only the attribute definitions. The colors and linetypes of
objects in exploded block references can change.
Note: Blocks inserted with MINSERT (multiple insert) result in a
minsert block
object, and cannot be exploded directly. You can convert the minsert
block object into a block object with the FLATTEN Express Tool. (MINSERT
is not available in AutoCAD LT.)
Explode External References
An external reference (xref) is a drawing file linked (or attached) to
another drawing. You cannot explode xrefs and their dependent blocks.
