    Posted: 28.Apr.2011 at 07:05
Hi lads,
I wish to convert a polyline entity into a spline one.

Why? The scenario is that: I have to draw a series of circles at the intersection of the circles' circumference to the polyline for a major project.
The polyline has got too many vertices, thus misleading the intersection osnap on it.(Each vertices acting as a line with there endpoints & midpoints).

Would you please help me.

Purchase the program called ToolPac by Dotsoft.

"ToolPac users will find Convert Polylines to Splines that will process a selection set of un-splined polylines and give you the results you want."

Wait, are you only wanting to convert the polylines to splines because your running osnaps conflict with the extra vertices?
Just use an OSnap override and it will only snap using the override. INT for intersection.

Thanks for your help....but it's that, 'intersection osnap' acts at each joint among each vertices. At the end much zooming must be applied before selecting the needed one (i.e intersection in between a circle's circumference and the polyline).
