Convert Polylines as Simple Elements

Translates the imported polylines as simple elements. When you set this option, polylines are translated as individual lines and arcs. When you clear this option, the elements are grouped into a linestring. Translating polylines as simple elements allows you to use them in sketches, and place dimensions on the elements.
