You can use Explode on shapes that have more than one entity. Explode makes the entities into individual shapes.
To Explode the Entities of a Shape, Text, or Hatch into Individual Shapes
NOTE: After text or a hatch is divided into shapes, it cannot be edited as text or a hatch.
Each of the entities is now a shape and can have separate process information definitions. You can edit them separately or combine some of the entities into other shapes.
