While we are much more focusing on AutoCAD basics here, it is necessary to learn how you can convert LINE to Polyline and vice versa.
This might not make sense to you now now, but will surely come in handy when you will come to a point where you need to convert a line to a polyline. An example where this will be needed is when you are working on a project where you need to join a series of line to make it a single object and use the resulting polyline as a PATH.
A concrete example:
Let’s say we need to create an ARRAYPATH in AutoCAD, if we create our path using the LINE command, the path will be made of many line segments, To use this command you need to have all lines converted to a single object. You will then need to convert Line to Polyline.
Use the Convert 3D To 2D Polylines command to convert 3D to 2D polylines. The new polyline will take on the elevation of the start point of the 3D polyline. Click Modify tabDesign panelConvert 3D To 2D Polylines Find. Select the polyline(s) to convert. Use the Convert 2D To 3D Polylines command to convert 2D to 3D polylines. Use this utility if you need to modify the elevations of individual vertices of a 2D polyline. 2D polylines are coplanar objects. You can assign elevations to 3D polylines with the feature line elevation commands.
What is a Polyline (PLINE command)?
In AutoCAD, a Polyline is a single object that is composed of lines and/or arc segments. Brother downloadable embroidery designs.
How is a LINE different from a Polyline?
A Polyline is made of LINEs. It is not possible to select a segment of a Polyline without selecting the whole.
How to Convert Polyline to LINE
- Polyline: 1
- Lines: 2
Converting a Polyline to a line is a very easy task. it goes like this:
- Select the Polyline
- Click on the Explode icon
and that is it.
How to convert LINE to Polyline

Issue:
How do you create a 3D polyline from points that takes on the elevation of the points selected?
Solution:
To create polyline using available points in the drawing do following:
1. Start 3D polyline command (command: '3DPOLY') 2. While still in command type 'PO

('Point Object' transparent command) in command-line. Apostrophe is important when calling transparent command.Convert Polyline To 3d Polyline
3. Click the first point and then on any subsequent points to create the desired line4. Hit Enter key
5. The resulting 3D polyline has vertices with elevations that match the selected points
Note: Points must be COGO points.
