Hej!

I have a problem when importing cad-splines. The arc info seems to disappear and instead of smooth arcs there are just straight segments. I cant se any import options either.

Try to export to DXF.
DXF does not support arcs/curves, so everything will be chorded aquatically on the export from AutoCad.
Import DXF to TBC.

Hi!

Thanks! I tried to convert the file in another cad software and if I used a new dxf-format the splines are still there and appear as straight segments in TBC but if I save it as an older dxf-format the splines are converted to many small segments and that works. The only problem with that is that the file becomes 25 times bigger. But now I can use the file and if I want it smaller I can always use the convert linestring-command to filter out segments.
