Using BURST instead of EXPLODE

[ryan.87191]

It doesn't retain the ploylines if you alter the scale of the block before you "Burst" it. It seems to work fine if you insert the block to scale. So if you have any other suggestions... I'm open.

Thanks anyway,
Ryan

Ryan, I am going to move this from the tips and tricks forum as I think your question will be better served here. Thanks.

Burst will retain the poly lines if you do not use decimal scales. for example, if you type in .2 in the x,y,and z scale boxes, it thinks that it is a non-uniformly scaled block, and therefore reacts in that way, however if you type in 1/50 in all the boxes, even though it displays .2, AutoCAD will treat it as a uniformly scaled block. I had that issue using CHSPACE with blocks from model space to paper space, the blocks were scaled down at the scale of the viewport, but AutoCAD still treated them as nonuniform
