This used to exist up until recently - now it just breaks a Polyline into lots of little Polylines. Do you want this function restored?

[Piotr Dobrowolski]

Linework consolidation does the trick as workaround for now.

PS. Do not get me wrong - I Voted Yes

[vfrontiers]

voted yes too... and should include arc, circle as well... those bits end up as little polylines too..

BTW, option click in Line tool over polyline will duplicate as LINES / ARCs

Thanks guys for bringing this up. I asked our engineering to check this to see whether we can restore the original way to explode polylines to lines.

What was the answer from the engieering dept. in 2013 ? :--)
A radio-button for explode decision either PL or L would be helpful.

How do I turn a polyline into lines in AC21?

[Bruce]

Use linework consolidation. Edit > Reshape > Linework Consolidation

Thank you! Such an unintuitive option.
