When you export to dxf do curves and circles export as line segments or arcs and circles.

Thanks

It breaks most shapes into line segments to my knowledge. I don't think it breaks circles into segments though. What do you plan on doing with the .dxf file?

Thanks.

Will be imported into a cam program then used on a CNC router. Runs much smoother on the router when there are arcs and circles and not a lot of short line segments.
There is a program that can be used within Corel to export the DXF files using arcs and circles instead of line segments. Just trying to find out if it would be needed with Corel X3.

Thanks again
