Alan, there is an .exe program on the Vector user forum under
the "loops and circles" thread that detects conditions that could
cause duplicated arcs. It comments out the duplicated arc
conditions. It is called loopdelete.

The current version of VectorCam, 9.4.040 or greater, automatically
prevents duplicated arcs by filtering out any geometry in the program
that would cause dups, based on the number of decimals in your G-code
file.
