Thanks Buzzard.

 

So I should use LWPolyline in dealing with entities from now on .... right?

Just to clarify the LWPOLYLINE was introduced at the time of release 14 and has been the standard since. I use it all the time.

A Polyline entity may be a 3D Polyline, 2D Heavy Polyline, or 3D/polyface mesh.

 

An LWPolyline is just a 2D Polyline with perhaps elevation.
