Body, 3D Solid, and Region entities in a nonuniformly scaled block cannot be exploded. If all the objects in such a block cannot be exploded, the selected block reference will not be exploded.

When nonuniformly scaled blocks contain objects that cannot be exploded, they are collected into an anonymous block (named with a “*E” prefix) and referenced with the nonuniform scaling. Blocks with unequal X, Y, and Z scales (nonuniformly scaled blocks) might explode into unexpected objects. If a block contains a polyline or a nested block, exploding the block exposes the polyline or nested block object, which must then be exploded to expose its individual objects.īlocks with equal X, Y, and Z scales explode into their component objects. If within a nonuniformly scaled block, explodes into elliptical arcs.Įxplodes an associative array into copies of the original objects. (Not applicable to AutoCAD LT.)Įxplodes the current scale representation into its constituent parts which are no longer annotative.

Any linetype assigned to the 3D polyline is applied to each resulting line segment.
