I want Arcs instead of NURBS

[tiredtoolmaker]

Re: X7

Our designers use UG; they send me parasolids. We have a new designer and when I create edge curves on his holes etc. some analyze as NURBS, some as arcs. I ask him about this and he don't seem to know why. I don't have this issue with the other designers. That said, is there anything I can do in Mastercam to help with this or does this fall on him? I know how to convert Nurbs to arcs and vice-versa but I want to eliminate this step.

Tell him to do a better job defining his models. You are asking Mastercam to help with bad models so you don't have to do extra work that is what you are asking for help with you do understand that is the question being asked?
