Another trick that sometimes works with Autocad is to save the file as a
previous version of DXF. If the spline was not supported in say version 12,
it will automatically be converted to an entity type that was supported.
Probably a linear interpolation. That way you can draw with the latest
Autocad styles and still save in older/simpler formats. I know this works for
ellipses and I think, depending on the version ,polyarcs. It may not be very
effective for 3D entities however.

The IMService specials are usually linked in my signature, but the link does
change, so older posts may not have the current link. We usually have
significant discounts for hobbyists, if you order through our automated system.
