Converts 2D polylines between the "legacy" heavy and optimized lightweight formats.
The following prompts are displayed.
- Enter polyline conversion option
- Specifies the format to which 2D polylines are to be converted:
- Heavy - Converts lightweight polylines to "legacy" 2D polylines, which contain additional information in the form of vertex objects that increase drawing file size and reduce performance.
- Light - Converts "legacy" 2D polylines to lightweight polylines, which are optimized objects that reduce drawing file size and improve performance.
Note:
- By default, the
PLINETYPE system variable specifies that "legacy" 2D polylines should be updated automatically to lightweight polylines when you open a drawing.
- The
CONVERT command can be used to update "legacy" hatches and 2D polylines primarily created in product releases prior to AutoCAD Release 14 or AutoCAD LT 97.
