Exploding Annotations

Use the ExplodeText command to convert annotations into PolyLines, which represent the text outline.

You can explode Notes, SimpleNotes, text of Leader entities, and BlockAttribute Definitions.

You can base the TextStyle of the annotations on TrueType fonts and SHX files.

To explode annotations:

1. Do one of the following:
   • On the ribbon, click XtraTools > Annotation > Explode Text.
   • Type ExplodeText.
2. Specify the annotation to explode.

   The specified annotations are converted into closed PolyLines.

  Use the Explode command to explode other complex entities (for example, Blocks).
