    importing control point curves from rhino

    I have been trying to import control point curves from Rhino and can only get a series of connecting lines. Can I get the lines to be interpreted as curves so my parts don't end up with facets instead of smooth curves. Can the cad drawings be done in such a way as to allow bobcad to import the shapes with a smooth perimeter curves. How do you import complex geometry that doesn't have straight lines and get it to cut without facets?

    You may want to try exploding the curves into simple entities for import/export. This will allow you more control over the faceting of the geometry. When you import a Spline or Poly Arc the system interpolates it into simple entities on its own, if it is already converted to simple entities, then you shouldn't have any issues with the import.

    Regards
