Summary
The GT_SPL2PL command in GeoTools allows users to convert spline curves into polylines using multiple interpolation methods, providing flexibility and precision in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.

Convert Splines to Polylines: GT_SPL2PL – GeoTools Command
Convert Splines to Polylines: GT_SPL2PL – GeoTools Command
Key Features Include:
- Multiple Spline-to-Polyline Conversion Methods:
- Join Fit Points – Creates a polyline by connecting the fit points (DXF Code 11) of the spline.
- Join Control Points – Generates a polyline using the control points (DXF Code 10) of the spline.
- Re-create Spline Geometry (DXF Method) – A high-precision method that converts the spline into DXF Release 12 format before reconstructing it as a polyline.
- Interpolate by Inter-Vertex Distance – Defines polyline vertex spacing based on a specified interpolation distance.
- Divide (Number of Segments) – Converts the spline into a polyline by splitting it into a fixed number of segments.
- Layer Placement Options:
- Source Layer – Places the converted polyline in the original spline’s layer.
- Current Layer – Inserts the polyline into the active working layer.
- Specify Custom Layer – Allows users to define a target layer for placement.
- Delete Original Objects (Optional):
- Users can remove the source splines after conversion for a cleaner drawing.
Benefits:
This tool ensures precise spline-to-polyline conversion, improving workflow efficiency in CAD environments.
