Summary

The GT_LINPOLY command in GeoTools converts arced polylines into linear segmented polylines, ensuring compatibility with applications requiring straight-line segments in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.

GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Create/Edit -> Draw linear polylines from arced polylines

Key Features Include:

• Convert Arced Polylines to Linear Segments:
  • Replaces curved polyline segments with a series of straight-line segments.
• Improves Compatibility:
  • Essential for GIS, topographical mapping, and CAD applications that do not support arc-based polylines.
• Batch Processing Capabilities:
  • Allows quick conversion of multiple polylines while maintaining geometric accuracy.
• Automatic Execution Mode:
  • Option to hide the dialog box and run GT_LINPOLY with the previously used settings.

Benefits:

This tool is valuable for surveyors, engineers, and designers who need to work with simplified linear representations of complex curved polylines.
