This option is activated only when " Delete entities on frozen / turned off layers " is selected. It deletes all entities on frozen or turned off layers even if they are not in the selection. This kind of image will be split into two halves to cut out the "hole".ĭelete entities on frozen / turned off layers If a image has a wipeout in the middle and it seems has a "hole" in the center, for instance, a Google map with a wipeout above it to cover the existing land. Wipeout can be sub-entity in selected blocks or a individual entity in the initial selection. If the wipeout frame setting is set to "ON", a new polyline is created to present the wipeout boundary. It deletes all entities under the wipeout and trims off entities intersect with the wipeout along its edges, then deletes the wipeout itself. These entities will be converted to polylines/lines before passed to trim process.ĮXPLODEALL ignore the clipping boundary if it is "off". Some entity types cannot be trimmed at the clipping boundary, include non-standard AutoCAD entities such as AutoCAD Architectural walls and AutoCAD entities such as texts, tables, dimensions, etc. Now with this option, EXPLODEALL completes all procedures above automatically. Revit does not handle xclipped blocks and xrefs so EXPLODEALL can be useful to run on drawings before taking them into Revit. If you only need the entities inside the clipping boundary, you have to manually create the block clipping boundary first, then explode the block, then trim along the boundary, and then delete entities outside the boundary. Normally, when a clipped block is exploded, clipping effect disappears and all sub-entities outside of the clipping boundary are shown. This option is only available in the registered version. Trim off sub-entities outside block clipping boundary If this option is selected (default), it binds selected xrefs with "bind" option (not "insert"). When selected, it converts attributs to text/Mtext depends on if the attribute is a Mtext type, and keep the attribute value and all other properties such as color, height, font etc in converted text/Mtext. When unselected, EXPLODEALL explode all attributes to attribute reference objects as command explode will do. The solid hatches disappear after explosion. Select this option to explode them properly.Ĭaution: Position and dimension of sub-entities inside dynamic may be slightly changed.Ĭaution: Do not use this option if there are solid hatches in dynamic blocks. In some scenario, the hatches in dynamic blocks change its display after explosion. Please refer NOTE 1 below for further information. This option is not available in AutoCAD 2005 and early versions. Select this option to enable explode blocks which are not allowed explosion.ĭeselect it means EXPLODEALL will remain unexplodable blocks, but EXPLODEALL still changes their layer or color if "By parent" options is selected. This option is selected as default in the initial settings dialogue. Only explode the first level of selected blocks.Įxplode all block levels except the last level. Use 'Insert' mode to bind selected xrefs. This is the default setting of Colors initially. No changes made to the color of final exploded objects, same as using command EXPLODE. But with EXPLODEALL, you can keep the screen color and printing result unchanged even if all blocks have been exploded.Įxploded objects are changed to the color of the parent block they belong to.

This sort of result is a disaster for drawings of color-dependent plot styles. It controls the color of exploded objects.Ī very nice feature which changes the color of exploded objects to ensure they look exactly the same as before.įor example, if you explode a red block with standard EXPLODE command, any object in ByBlock color appears white. This is the default setting of Layers initially. No changes made to final exploded object layers, same as using command EXPLODE. It is the top level block in a multi-levelled block, not median-levelled sub-block. The parent block is the block in the original selection. It controls the layer of exploded objects.Įxploded objects are changed to the layer of the parent block they belong to.
