Create Polyline from Exploded Splines & Lines
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 12:52 am
Another odd question. I have a drawing that includes lines and splines. I need to create polylines from various entities because I want to use the equidistant feature of a polyline.
I know you can't create a polyline from a spline, so I exploded them first. I'm using the Polylines>create from segments tool. I'm not sure what the tolerance setting should be, I was unable to find a reference to it, so I've left it at the default.
I can't pick the exploded splines at all. When I select a regular line, it includes undesirable connected lines (which it does by default, I know). I put the entities that I want to use for the poly line on their own layer (called polyline), hid my other layers and gave that a go. I crashed QCAD with that maneuver.
It's probably very simple and I'm just not getting it. I've attached a simple dxf that shows my problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
