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.

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.
