CAD drawing Explode 8 Command line: EXPLODE, X

The Explode command divides complex objects, such as polylines, dimensions, hatches and blocks into separate elements. For example, dividing a polyline causes its separation into lines and arcs; an associative dimension divides into a set of simple objects; a block is divided into a set containing its objects; multiline text is divided into lines.

The Explode command is applied only to one nesting level of a complex object, i.e. if it is required to explode a polyline belonging to a block, firstly you have to explode the block and after that  the polyline.
