AutoCad :: Converting Multiple Lines / Arcs Into Plines?
Oct 18, 2011
I've been trying to figure out how to do this. I have a file with 41 drawings, and 7650 objects. and i want all the lines, arcs and circles to be turned into polylines. Now the Mpedit command doesnt really do it for me.
Command: MPEdit
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 4632 found, 10 groups
Select objects:
divide by zero
This is what happens when i write MPEdit, mark everything in my drawing and press enter. Now i also tried marking a line, using select similar, and fixing it that way. but i get the "divide by zero" error aswell.

So, I am trying to output a solid 3D model of the attached drawing. I traced it and converted it into a dxf, from there I cleaned it up, but cannot pedit. I assume it has to do with the arcs. Cannot find anything on google, so I thought I would turn to you good folks.

I have a bugging problem.
I usually use Inventor to create a model from customer supplied blueprints, and then use the model to get the 2D geometry into
AutoCAD for further processing.
Now, unfortunately Inventor has a pitiful 2D drawing method, where circles and arcs that do not lie exactly on the plane end up as a spline.
They are true arcs and circles and should be true arcs and circles on the 2D view, but aren't.
What I would like to do is turn them into one.
Is there any command or method to do that?
I was hoping that Overkill would work ..... it doesn't.

I have some polylines that mark the edge of roadway and around the curves there are arcs in the linework. How do I turn the polyline with arcs in it into a polyline with vertices, say, every .5' or so along the curve and turn the curve into a polyline? I tried the pedit and using decurve but it doesn't work well.

I have got a recordset that contains a bunch of ehandles for closed plines. Currently I cycle through the recordset, change each ehandle to an oblject and hatch it. It works fine, but is a tad slow. I would like to put all of the ehandles into a selectiion set (maybe?) and hatch them all at one time.

I am attempting to fillet plines to make rounded curbs at street intersections. Whenever I create the fillet, the 2 plines that were filleted remain as they were before the fillet.
This only happens on my computer and only in AutoCAD 2011, it works fine in Civil3D 2011. We only have a limited number of Civil3D licenses or I would just use that all the time.
The attached screenshot shows an example of what happens. The 2 red lines are what were filletted (the fillet is in white). Both lines are long enough to accomodate the radius of the fillet.
What is causing this problem?

I am working on a script. I need to select all lines and polylines and set there linetype scale to 1.
I'd take a simple lisp routine if that would be easier.

3 lines. 2 arcs. All coplanar, all meet end-to-end.
I set "Units/precision" to 0.00000000 and inspected them. They are all x=0 for each endpoint, therefore coplanar. I also did a point "ID" command and checked each endpoint approaching from both sides and confirmed that each pair of results was identical, so all the ends meet exactly.
I was under the impression that Join or at least PEDIT should be able to combine coplanar lines/arcs that all meet end to end into a polyline. Also, using the Express Tool's "FLATTEN" command doesn't work.
The reason I'm doing this is because I've drawn lines/arcs that trace along the midpoint of a sheet metal's material thickness, and this sheet metal has two bends in it and isn't flat anymore, so converting the lines/arcs to a single polyline will tell me how long the flat plate needs to be that will be ordered to create it.

The user is unable to add any sort of Lines, Arcs, etc to an existing file. However not all files behave this away. It seems like there must be some sort of a lock or a security item in place to prevent changes being made.

I have a giant polyline containing a mix of arcs and straight segments, and I would like to convert all of the arcs into a series of small, straight lines so that I can use the polyline with a plug-in I wrote to use the polyline as a selection polygon.
Someone mentioned something about WMFOUT and WMFIN but that gave me some pretty weird, wobbly lines as a result and plus it didn't scale things the same when I used WMFIN.

how to join line or polylines with ellipse arcs or circle arcs and now.. I give up! Here is my problem: What I would like to draw can be compared with a pear: a succession of circle arcs ellipse arcs and maybe polylines. Once the profile done, I was planning to use REVOLVE or (EXTRUDE + FLLET) to finish my drawing... the problem is that I can't join 2 ellipse arcs from different ellipses (which means neither with a circle arc. How would you proceed to draw a pear?
PS: I'm using autoCAD 2006 z.54.10 version

I am looking for a way to use objects created from lines and arcs as text because of a machine that will not read text. The objects look like letters and numbers. I am wondering if there is a way to create a text style, library or whatever with the created "text". There can be hundreds of characters on a single drawing so importing and aligning and placing each object 1 at a time is very slow and painstaking.

The building I am working on is the shape of a jelly bean. The exterior glazing will be segmented and we are trying to make the building as dimensionally uniform as possible. IE 5'-0" Curtain Wall units. So each arc length needs to be perfectly divisible by 5'-0" and the transitions from one arc to the next must occur at a tangent point.
Eventually we will be developing the building in Revit 2013 but for now we are in ACAD 2013.

I've looked at adding spaces to a plan that is simply lines and arcs... no intellegent objects.
It could get somewhat messy doing Generate Spaces... if the doors and swings are frozen the bounding objects don't get found... but if the doors and swings are on... the spaces go in fairly well... but then the door swing is used as a boundardy.

Using VB.NET, how to create a new polyline out of existing lines and arcs? I am converting existing VBA code into VB.NET, developing in AutoCAD 2010 using VS Professional and I just stumbled into this road block.
Without using programming code, this task can be accomplished via AutoCAD command by typing the PE command, selecting the JOIN option and then selecting any lines or arcs which should be combined to form a polyline.
Using programming code, however, I am quite stumped on this task. I have been able to successfully create the lines and arcs which should form the polyline, and they are all connected as well so they would form a connected polyline; I simply do not know how to proceed from here.

I have many segmented polylines that I need to turn into arcs. See the attached image for the method I use to create an arc from a single polyline. I need to do this to thousands of polylines. Does some other method that can do many polylines at once?

I'm currently working with some vectorial cartoonish drawings, and while it's mostly quite easy, I'm having problems with disconnected lines. At the end of a disconnected line it needs to gradually get thinner and end in a small, rounded off point. It needs to to become thinner much slower than the normal rounded-off point, kind of a sharpenned edge effect.
So far the only method I could manage is making a shape instead of a line, but it's much harder to work whenever I want to change something, since I have to rework node by node. So I was wondering if there was a way to convert a line into a shape, so I can modify it all I want as a line, and then turn it into a shape and add the sharpened end.

I've imported a logo to Corel Draw. The logo has several simple polylines. I'd like to convert them into artistic media in order to simulate calligraphic or hand made looking strokes. I pick the polyline, then I select Artistic Media from Effects menu. Then CD shows me the Default Strokes in a side docker window. I select any stroke.
The polyline changes, but I can't modify the stroke width spinner. Is there another method to convert lines to artistic media without redraw them over.
