Using the Convert Command to Update Polylines and Hatches*Applies to: AutoCAD R14, 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004 and 2005*AutoCAD R14 introduced the new LWpolylines and optimized
Associative Hatches. With these changes came a new command to
update these objects from old format to new object format. This
command is called CONVERT.
Note: Polylines that were created with spline or curve-fit
segments will not be converted. Along with the segment
limitations CONVERT will also not update Polylines that have extended
data attached to it's vertices.
Command Line:
Command: convert
Hatch/Polyline/<All>: {ENTER} for both Hatch and Polylines or H
for Hatch or P for Polyline
Select/<All>: {ENTER} for all objects or S to Select the
objects on the screen
The image above is a message box that is displayed to inform you if
you want to continue with converting the hatch patterns. This
message is warning you that Hatch pattern rotation information might
not be updated properly if the UCS is not the same when it was
originally created.
Below is a sample of the output that is created from the command:
1 hatch objects converted.
10 2d polyline objects converted.
