I'm relatively new to mastercam but have been in the machining business for most of my professional career. I'm having an issue with a project I'm doing.
For info, I'm using MCAMx5. I have a project that required the use of a .jpeg image which I then translated to an outline using the Rast2Vec app. I previously cleaned up the image using photoshop to make the lines as defined and clear as possible. However, after inputting it to Mastercam, it renders the lines (which appear straight in the image) as a series of thousands of small arcs. Once I create a toolpath, it results in g code that's 30k-40k lines. I'm looking to cut down the number of lines significantly and am wondering if there is a way to either have Mastercam render the image in a matter that creates more straight lines, or generate a toolpath that consciously avoids the small arcs and whatnot.
Thanks.

Removed pirated file
I had to delete the toolpaths to make the file an acceptable size, but here it is. If you zoom in on the edges, you can see that instead of being straight lines or wider arcs, they are made up of thousands of small arcs.
