	The flatten command is the only way I know of. There is an option not to delete lines, so this may solve the problem you were experiencing! Command: Flatten :remove hidden lines? <No> I don't tend to use splines, although they can be useful!

	Export drawing to .DXF format and open the .DXF file . This should give you the splines converted into lines Tom www.indovance.com

	Go to Cadalyst site, search spline in the "get the code" or hot tips area. There are lisp routines for conversion. http://cadtips.cadalyst.com/node/tiplisting?keywords=spline
