Transform Objects to > Curve (Trim Menu)

This command can be used to convert an object into a curve. A curve is an "open" object, i.e. it does not have a closed outline and therefore can not be filled. If filled objects are converted to curves, they will no longer be available, but will however still be present.

In principle, any object can be identified for transformation. However, transformation only makes sense for some objects.

Many object types cannot be converted cleanly to a curve. Splines must be converted into polylines, which invariably leads to a loss of quality. The precision of the conversion can be specified using the command Drawing Settings > Precision in the entry "Transform".

A surface can only be converted to a curve if it has a single outline. If it consists of multiple outlines, then the command Trim Surface > Split into Outlines must be used to split it into individual outlines
