2D 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 (AutoCAD drawings) Explodes solids into surfaces and regions.
Annotative Objects Explodes the current scale representation into its
constituent parts which are no longer . Other scale representations are
removed.
Arc If within a nonuniformly scaled block, explodes into elliptical arcs.
Block Removes one grouping level at a time. 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.
Blocks with equal X, Y, and Z scales explode into their component objects.
Blocks with unequal X, Y, and Z scales (nonuniformly scaled blocks) might
explode into unexpected objects.
Exploding a block that contains attributes deletes the attribute values and
redisplays the attribute definitions.
Blocks inserted with external references (xrefs) and their dependent blocks
cannot be exploded.
Body (AutoCAD drawings) Explodes into a single-surface body (nonplanar
surfaces), regions, or curves.
Circle If within a nonuniformly scaled block, explodes into ellipses.
Leaders Explodes into lines, splines, solids (arrow heads), block inserts (arrow
heads, annotation blocks), multiline text, or tolerance objects, depending on
the leader.
Multiline Text Explodes into text objects.
Multiline (AutoCAD drawings) Explodes into lines and arcs.
Polyface Mesh (AutoCAD drawings) Explodes one-vertex meshes into a point
object. Two-vertex meshes explode into a line. Three-vertex meshes explode
into 3D faces.
Region Explodes into lines, arcs, or splines.
