Import DXF - Easel is adding facets to radii on outer profile

Hello All,

I’m trying to import a dxf with a large radius on the outer profile, but Easel is cutting as a several large facets rather than a smooth curve. I see some are doing work arounds by converting dxf to svg. This is okay, but when I do this Easel doesn’t let me choose which side of the line to cut on, so I can’t preserve the original dimension of the part.
Any help would be appreciated.

AutoCAD no facet

Can you explode your radii in your dxf into segments? Easel vs UGS (Easel non-support of Arcs) - Easel - Inventables Community Forum

Hello Martin,
Thanks for the advice. I did modify large arc in the dxf to be several small tangents and it worked great. It’s not really sustainable to do this on all the projects I have coming up, but it got me through this one. Looks like I won’t be able to use easel long term. Hard to believe there is a cam software out there that can’t handle arcs.

Can you share your dxf?
