    Converting Splines to Arcs in X6

    Can someone guide me in the right direction. Im new to X6 and I can't figure out how to convert splines to arcs. Im used to version 9. Im doing a basic 2D toolpath and splines leave terrible machine finish.

    Thanks

    "Edit" then "Simplify" will do it.
