[CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Filter or converter for converting short lines to arcs

Thanks for all the responses. There are some really good ideas. I will
have to try them out over the next few days.

By the way, I am using Solidworks 2003 and exporting the file as an iges in
order to bring into surfcam 2003. Some of the files I use are not created
by me, but are sent to me in an iges form.

Thanks again.

Jeff
