Optimizes 2D polylines and associative hatches created in AutoCAD LT 95 or
earlier.
Sumary
Hatches are not updated automatically when a drawing from a previous release
is opened in AutoCAD LT 97 or later. Information about the rotation of a
hatch pattern may not be updated properly if you have changed the UCS since
creating the hatch. When updating hatches with CONVERT, it is recommended
that you use the Select option so that you can check your results.
In most cases, you do not need to update polylines with CONVERT. By default,
the PLINETYPE system variable specifies that polylines are updated
automatically when you open an older drawing. Polylines may be created in
the old format by third-party applications, and they may be contained in an
older drawing that was inserted as a block and then exploded.
