   • Ellipse: Explodes Ellipses and Elliptical arcs.
   • Spline: Explodes closed and open Splines.
   • Both: Explodes Ellipses and Splines.
4. If your selection contains Splines, specify the precision for the conversion of Splines to PolyLines.
5. The specified Ellipses and Splines are converted into PolyLines.
