System Information
Windows 7, 64 bit, Quadro FX 4000

Blender Version
Broken: Blender 2.70a
Worked: 2.65

Short description of error
A while back ago, if I bake Particles, I can then convert it to Curve. It's no longer there. Very strange....

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
The bug is if I bake particle to cache, then I go Particle Edit, and I go Convert to Mesh/Curve, particle will disappear and then I have this error saying Particle Edit change mode error.

I can't reproduce this, but also not sure what sort of conversion operator you are talking about. The "Convert To" operator indeed doesn't seem to work (if that is the one you mean), but i can't do that in 2.65a either and it does not make particles disappear or give error messages.

A test file would be really helpful here, and some more detailed explanation which operator you mean.

Yes, Belich, that is exactly what I need!

The procedure it takes for Particles to be "Convert" in Modifier is a little bit a mystery. In the past, I thought that I need to switch to Hair or Hair Advanced, but apparently setting Particles to "Display as Path" and Caching it, is the requirement.

Thanks, this is not a bug or missing feature.
