Spline2Poly

Short description

🧩 Spline2Poly converts AutoCAD SPLINE entities to polylines using SPLINEDIT Convert to Polyline with precision 1.
🎛️ A dynamically generated DCL lets the user choose manual spline selection or conversion of all splines in the entire drawing.
💾 Selection mode and dialog position are remembered in the AutoCAD configuration and during the current session.

Command:

Main command: Spline2Poly
Conversion engine: SPLINEDIT Convert to Polyline precision 1

Description:

🎛️ The DCL is written to a unique temporary file on each run.
🖱️ Manual mode asks the user to select SPLINE entities.
🌐 All mode gathers all SPLINE entities in the complete drawing.
🔒 Splines on locked or frozen layers are skipped.
🗂️ The routine switches to the entity layout or model tab when required before calling SPLINEDIT.
⚙️ SPLINEDIT converts the source using polyline precision 1.
📊 The command tracks Converted Skipped and Failed totals.
↩️ Processing is wrapped in an AutoCAD undo group and the original CTAB and CMDECHO values are restored.

Helper function: (if any)​

Spline2Poly:ConvertOneSpline performs SPLINEDIT conversion and verification.
Spline2Poly:LayerLockedOrFrozenP validates the source layer.
Spline2Poly:SetLayoutIfNeeded switches to the entity layout before conversion.

Functionalities:

✅ Manual selection mode – converts only selected SPLINE entities.
✅ All drawing mode – converts every SPLINE found in the drawing.
✅ Dynamic DCL – creates a unique temporary dialog file.
✅ Locked layer protection – skips splines on locked layers.
✅ Frozen layer protection – skips splines on frozen layers.
✅ Layout switching – processes entities in their correct tab.
✅ Fixed precision 1 – uses SPLINEDIT polyline precision 1.
✅ Conversion verification – checks whether the original entity is no longer a SPLINE.
✅ Conversion summary – reports Converted Skipped and Failed totals.
✅ Persistent mode – remembers the selection mode.
✅ Dialog position memory – remembers the DCL screen location.
✅ Undo support – groups conversion operations.

Result:

🎯 The result is polyline geometry converted from selected or all valid SPLINE entities using SPLINEDIT precision 1.
