Old style polyline problem

[AdrianBaluta]

Hi,

 

Out of the blue my autocad is drawing old 'heavy' polylines instead of lwpolylines. I really need to get back to drawing normal polylines.

Any idea would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Adrian

Have you investigated the system variable PLINETYPE, and also the command CONVERT

[AdrianBaluta]

That was the problem.

Thank you very much!

 

Info for whoever will need this:

PLINETYPE controls both the creation of new polylines with the PLINE command and the conversion of existing polylines in drawings from previous releases.​

Values:

0 - Polylines in older drawings are not converted when opened; PLINE creates old-format polylines

1 - Polylines in older drawings are not converted when opened; PLINE creates optimized polylines

2 - Polylines in AutoCAD Release 14 or older drawings are converted when opened; PLINE creates optimized polylines
