Hi
 
the only way is to save the drawing with splines, and then in Autocad flatten the splines which will change them to ploylines and explode then in to arcs.
 
cheers

Would PEdit to convert everything to LWPolylines be sufficient?]]> Sun, 01 May 2011 05:27:44 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5792&PID=15005&title=turn-line-segments-into-arc#15005 <![CDATA[Turn Line Segments into Arc : I use Sketchup often to visualize...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5792&PID=14995&title=turn-line-segments-into-arc#14995 Author: slugore

I use Sketchup often to visualize a design before I produce drawings for set construction. Then I export views from Sketchup as .dwg's. This works fairly well and I am able to deal with problems like overlapping lines and multiple end to end line segments  by using OVERKILL.
But, since Sketchup exports Arcs and Circles as line segments, is there a way to convert line segments (that originally came from a curve or circle with a centre and radius) into an arc or circle?
