In the AutoCAD environment, running the AutoCAD Explode command will transform all custom entities into equivalent AutoCAD native entities. When a custom entity is exploded, all associated database information is lost. Be certain to save the exploded drawing under a separate filename.

Use Explode to render a drawing for finalizing exhibits and publishing maps of the model network. You can also deliver exploded drawings to clients or other individuals who do not own a Bentley Systems Product license, since a fully exploded drawing will not be comprised of any ObjectARX proxy objects.
