Re: problems converting splines to polylines

In LibreCAD, spline is implemented to use approximate line segments, so a spline can be exploded;

Splinepoints is totally different, and it's actually implemented as 2nd order bezier, so no approximation or line segments in use.

Conceptually, splinepoints should support hatching natively.

Indeed, 'Spline through points' does not react to 'Explode'. Maybe just nobody has discovered this up to now and it is a bug. Or it is not possible in this variant. It works with the simple 'Spline', defined by control points.

To delete a part of a line in V. 2.2.0 you have to cut up the line at the desired points with Tools - Modify - Divide and then delete the cut free part.

The upcoming V 2.2.1, now available as a release candidate, has a lot more new features, including cut out features.
