OK I'll try to be more descriptive...

I'll give an exemple for a single elevation contour.

I got one contour which is constituted by many polylines.  These polylines are 
adjacent, which means that the last node of one polyline is the first node of another 
polyline and so on... so the hole serie of polylines looks like a single polyline.  
What I want to do is to combine these polylines permanently.  

If I use the combine function, this will only make a temporary single polyline because 
when using the disaggregate function it will break up into original polylines.  Which 
means that the information of the individual polylines is kept somewhere within the 
file when combined.  That's the "aggregation information" I mentionned.

I want to combined the polylines whitout keeping that information so the disaggregate 
function will have no effect on the resulting combined polyline.

The goal of thit is that I have to export these lines to AutoCAD via DXF format.  If 
there is aggregated lines in the original file, they will be imported as a block, 
which cause problem for the final application of the CAD file.

Like I said earlier, I tried exporting/importing in different formats, thinking that 
the "aggregation information" would be lost.  Unfortunatly, it is not the case.

Hope this is clear enough this time.

Thanks to people who try to help me!
