Hi guys, I recently got a base plate model that came in 100% Spline Wireframe. So every hole I need to drill has no useful selectable geometry. I googled converting splines to arcs and found a video by "GiangTheTool"(what a surprise the guy has a mcam video for everything) he shows how to use the toolpath generated with certain settings and backplot you can save your toolpath geometry. My problem is that I cannot get my Arc Filter / Tolerance setting to give me smooth Arcs from my toolpath It just keeps converting to tiny line segments. So If you guys have any good techniques for converting splines to arcs or how to control Arc Filter / Tolerance to output mostly Arcs I would love to hear it! Btw all the holes in my part are under 1/2 inch diameter. Please help me

the pic is from mastercan 2017 lathe finishing parameters using a nurbs spline as geometry. When using mastercam 2018, the Linear Tolerance field window is missing and the spline is interpolated roughly when machined. I solved this particular problem by simplifying the spline to an arc and reposting. But I need to have a better solution going forward. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Chris
