Konvertierung Tools Polylinien mit Bögen in Polylinien mit linearen Abschnitten umwandeln
Command line: GT_PLARC2PL 



Converts arc segments in polylines or ARC objects to polylines with linear interpolated segments. The arc section is approximated by connecting with a number of straight line segments. The linear segment of the original polyline is left as it is. The arc approximation (interpolation) can be done by any one of the three methods:

Angular
In this case, sampling is done at the specified angular interval (in degrees) along the arc segment. This is useful when you want to replace an arc or circle with linear segments at every fixed angular interval like 5 or 10 degrees. This method is usually not preferred to deal with polyline arc segments in surveyed horizontal curves where it is desirable to adopt either of the other two parameters described below. 

Chord Length
This is the maximum allowable chord length during the interpolation of the arcs.

Chord Perpendicular (crown distance)
This is the maximum crown distance of the chord that is allowable during the arc interpolation. The crown distance is the distance from the midpoint of the chord to the arc.

Layer to place:

Source:
Choosing this option places the converted polylines in source object layer.

Current: Choosing this option places the converted polylines in current layer.

Delete original objects: Checking this box deletes the original objects.

Command line: GT_PLINE2ARC

The GT_PLINE2ARC command converts linear segment polylines into arc objects or polyline with arcs. If you have polylines defined with a number of points connected by linear segments and would like to approximate it with an arc segment that connects every n th vertex, then GT_PLINE2ARC is the command to use. An arc is defined by three points.

Create arc for each polyline segment: Checking this box creates arc between each segment of polyline which will be useful to prepare data for many CNC applications where you need to provide the input as arc instead of polyline geometry

Number of vertices between arc points: Specify the number of vertices to skip between arc points.

Output Mode: Specifies the type of output object to be created. This can be either an ARC object or polyline with arc segments.

ARC objects: Choosing this type causes the output to be ARC objects.

Polyline arcs: Choosing this type creates polyline object with arced segments.

Command line: GT_ASN_PROP 

Assign properties assigns either of the two primary properties (Thickness or Elevation) to selected AutoCAD points, shapes, blocks or circles. These properties are inherited from nearby text objects or from block attributes and converted to their floating point values. Typically, any AutoCAD object, which has only one primary DXF Code 10 group, can be used.



The GT_ASN_PROP command is useful as an "intelligence adding tool" in cases where the elevation or thickness value was created separately as a free standing text or block attribute. GT_ASN_PROP allows the neighboring property value to be linked into the object as its own property.

This command can also be used to update an existing block with the elevation or thickness value derived out of the value of one of its attributes.

Assign what property?

Elevation: Select this option to assign the elevation value from a neighboring text/block attribute.

Thickness: Select this option to assign the thickness value from a neighboring text/block attribute.

Inherit from:

Text: Searches around the location for text objects only to inherit the values from.

Block: Searches around the location for block attributes (of the specified tag name) objects only to inherit the values from.

Measure distance to:

Nearest visible location: Selecting this option causes the search distance criteria to succeed on finding the nearest visible part of the text/attribute within search distance entered.

Insertion point: Selecting this option causes the search distance criteria to succeed only if the distance between the search location and the insertion point of text/block is less than or equal to the search distance entered.

Inherit a property object only once (ignore in further processing): If this options is checked, will process each object only once and it will be excluded from processing in subsequent runs. This will ensure that each object is used for property inheritance only once.

Delete inherited object from drawing: If this option is checked, will delete each object from the drawing as soon as they are used to inherit property into the calling object. Therefore, if this option is checked, it will automatically make Option (1) irrelevant as it would not only use each object only once, it would automatically delete them from the drawing as well.

Attribute tag name: Specify name of an attribute tag to look for near the objects.

Search Distance: Specify how much distance to look around an object. This distance will be in the form of a square box around the object.

Command line: GT_ASS_EL

GT_ASS_EL is an "intelligence adding" tool. It allows you to assign elevations to contour polylines which do not have elevations. You are asked to pick a reference contour and then the subsequent contours in order. On specifying the contour interval, all the contours are assigned elevations based on the reference contour and the contour interval.

GT_ASS_EL_TEXT is another "intelligence adding" tool. It allows you to assign elevations to contour polylines which do not have elevations but, unlike the GT_ASS_EL command which performs automatic incrementing of elevations, this command asks for a text label object  . You are asked to pick a reference contour and then the subsequent contours in order. On specifying the contour interval, all the contours are assigned elevations based on the reference contour and the contour interval.

Command line: GT_FLATTEN 

The GT_FLATTEN command is used to convert the "Z" elevation of Lines/Polylines/3D-Polylines/Circles/Arcs to 0.0 elevation. This command uses a generic flattening algorithm that changes the elevation of all selected objects to 0.0.

There is another very interesting feature of the GT_FLATTEN command which is very useful to Mechanical engineers.It can also convert Solid Models (3DSOLID) to 0.0 elevation by generating the "Projected view" of the model on the current UCS plane. By doing this, you can generate a projected view of a 3D model at any straight or inclined plane.
