hi
Maybe a silly question, but how can I add an elips in a polyline? I've tried
pedit --> join but I get the message that only arc circel or line can be
added. Trying to explode the elips doesn't work out.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks in advance

ellipse is actually a spline. you must trace over it with polylines or
arcs.. I use divide and set my spaces pretty close then set my Osnap on node
& go. HTH

You can't use a true ellipse. Instead, set PELLIPSE to 1 to force AutoCAD to
approximate your ellipse with a polyline; you can then trim, PEDIT, etc. to
your heart's content.

Try to use boundary.
Draw the ellipse, draw your pline, than make a new boundary and it wil
create a region.
It's not a polyline but if you need it for hatching it works.

I'm a little confused, how do you use this?
I copeid the bit after "(defun...." into notepad and saved it of as an *.lsp
I loaded the lsp into acadwin.
I type convspl at the command line, it promtps me to select something, which
I do (an ellipse) it I press enter and it exits the routine. Nothing has
happened. What am I doing wrong?

Again, depending on the accuracy required, a SPLINE is created when you try
to offset an ellipse. Offsetting the offset back gives you an
*approximation* of an ellipse, which could then be used by this routine to
make a polyline......
Wouldn't it be easier to follow Pauls suggestion and draw the ellipse
while PELLIPSE = 1? So you get a pline and can join it to other
lines/polylines/arcs.
