Arcs to Polylines?

[Profesrgeo 0]

Hi All,

I'm wondering if there is a way to convert arcs to polylines.

I've got CAD files I neet to translate to a GIS Program and the program doesn't recognize arcs.

thanks in advance

If the arc ends touch each other at the end points, the compose command will melt all the arcs together (that touch and are selected) and form one continual line.

The Connect/Combine Tool, Dual Object Combine Mode will in essence do the same thing. This tool is used piece by piece, but helps melt/compose/combine/add/whatever the pieces together into one big piece when the end points are not snapped together.

If you select the arcs and then use the "Convert to Polygons" command the arcs will be converted to polygons.

Does this accomplish what you need?
