Polyline smoothing autocad

Notice that now the default option becomes P. Position the X on one end of the segment you want to break. Enter B. J at the command prompt. J, and the polyline will be broken. Notice that the inserted vertex appears between the currently marked vertex and the next vertex, so the Insert option is sensitive to the direction. If the polyline is curved, the new vertex will not immediately be shown as curved see the top image of Figure You must smooth it out by exiting the Edit Vertex option and then using the Fit option, as you did to edit the site plan see the bottom image.

You can also use the Stretch command on the Modify toolbar to move a polyline vertex. Undo the inserted vertex by exiting the Edit Vertex option X. J and typing U. Restart the Edit Vertex option, and use the Next or Previous option to place the Xon the vertex you wish to move. Enter MJ for the Move option. When the Spedfy new location marked vertex: prompt appears, along with a robber-banding line originating from the X see the top image.

The polyline is redrawn see the bottom image of Figure Straighten The Straighten option straightens all the vertices between two selected vertices, as shown here in the following exercise. Undo the moved vertex from the previous exercise , 2. Enter S. J for the Straighten option. Once the X is in the proper position, enter G.. While a Polyline indicates two or more lines have been joined. Breaks a compound object into its component objects.

Explodes a compound object when you want to modify its components separately. Objects that can be exploded include blocks, polylines, and regions, among others. The color, linetype, and lineweight of any exploded object might change. Turning off hardware acceleration completely can also prevent unwanted linework from showing. Did you mean:.

Filter by Lables. Message 1 of 4. Many years ago I used a command to "even out" the spaces in a dashed line polyline. In other words, it sort of ignored the vertices and smoothed out the line so that the lines and spaces between the lines were all even without regard to the vertices. For the life of me I can't recall that command.

I was able to accomplish it by enabling the pline properties and changing the LT scale, but this old command was much easier. All you had to do was pick the polyline, type in my forgotten command, and voila!
