The Vectorize command converts arcs into multiple short line segments. This is the opposite of the Curvefit command and is useful when arc geometry needs to be linearized.
🔹 How to Use
- Activate the command: Select Vectorize from the toolbar.
- Enter tolerance: Specify how much the new curve can deviate from the original.
- Select objects: Choose the arcs to convert to line segments.
Automatic conversion: Arcs are replaced with multiple short line segments.
🧠Tips
- Tolerance effects: Small tolerance = more line segments, closer to original; Large tolerance = fewer segments, more deviation.
- Opposite of Curvefit: Converts smooth arcs into line segments instead of optimizing segments into arcs.
- Legacy compatibility: Use when systems can't handle arc geometry.
- Deviation control: Tolerance controls how closely the line segments follow the original arc.
