I just tried it.
take a PDF, drop it into a "new" template PLN file for example.
Select the PDF.
then go to "edit">reshape>explode into current view......and watch.

Amazing!
The ENTIRE PDF file becomes linework in a PLN file.
amazing.....helps tremendously when you lost or don't have the original PDF but need something to work off of.......amazing.

Is this only an AC18 feature?

Amazing programming gents!
my hats off to GS programmers on this one.
Very nice.

So...if the PDF was created with "Autocad" then it can be converted to the PLN or the linework.

Nice.....very nice.
Does AC19 continue to have this functionality?
Nothing we could not already do with .dwg to .pdf converters that have been around for many years.

I need this so seldom that I was getting by just fine with the free and/or free demo versions of programs like this for the past 10 years or so.
