	How to display linetypes for 3D polylines.
	Entities of the type `3DPOLY` do not display linetypes nor lineweights. But they store this information (property) - so if you e.g. explode them (`EXPLODE`), the assigned linetype will by applied for the exploded objects (lines) and after you view/plot the drawing you can `UNDO` it back to 3D polylines.
