Modify Compound Objects
Additional editing operations are available for compound objects such as
blocks, dimensions, hatches, and polylines.
Disassociate Compound Objects (Explode)
You can explode a compound object such as a polyline, dimension, hatch, or
block reference to convert it into individual elements. For example, explod-
ing a polyline breaks it down to simple lines and arcs. Exploding a block
reference or an associative dimension replaces it with copies of the objects
that compose the block or dimension.
