What is the Explode command useful for?

 Q: What is the Explode command useful for?

A: You can use the Explode command to “explode” complex objects into simpler ones. For example, blocks can be exploded into their original objects, multiline and polyline objects become lines and arcs, and so on. The command also works with 3D objects. For instance, if you need to export to a SAT file some 3D objects that had been combined inbto a block, the block will not be exported. The solution is to explode the block and return it into its original 3D objects.

What is the best way to modify objects?

Q: What is the best way to modify objects?

A: ZWCAD has many commands for modifying objects, and sometimes we even modify them directly through grips. Perhaps the most useful tool for modifying objects and their properties is with the Properties bar. (You can open the Properties bar with Modify>Properties.) The Properties bar is especially useful when you need to modify a single object with specific values, such as a length or radius. You can directly input these values in the appropriate fields of the Properties bar. In addition, the Properties bar very usefully displAays all known information about the selected object.
