The color, linetype, and lineweight of any exploded object might change.
Other results differ depending on the type of compound object you're
exploding. See the following list of objects that can be exploded and the results
for each.
To explode objects and change their properties at the same time, use
XPLODE
(page 1184).
NOTE If you're using a script or an ObjectARX
®
function, you can explode only
one object at a time.
2D and Lightweight Polyline Discards any associated width or tangent
information. For wide polylines, the resulting lines and arcs are placed along
the center of the polyline.
3D Polyline Explodes into line segments. Any linetype assigned to the 3D
polyline is applied to each resulting line segment.
3D Solid Explodes planar faces into regions. Nonplanar faces explode into
surfaces.
Annotative Objects Explodes the current scale representation into its
constituent parts which are no longer annotative. Other scale representations
are removed.
Arc If within a nonuniformly scaled block, explodes into elliptical arcs.
