Export to DWG result in polylines instead of ellipses.

I use SW 2005sp4 and tried to export to a dwg file, but AutoCAD receives a
polyline where there should had been an ellipse, are there any settings for
this?
Or is it a normal SW behaviour.

In my experience that's normal SW behavior. The SaveAs function does
not seem to recognize anything but lines and arcs . . . anything other
than those are converted to polylines.

'Sporky'

 

Been that way since time immemorial. I think the reverse is true to.

 

but AutoCAD receives a polyline where

Are splines exported as polylines, too? Is there an acad version variable that
can be set? There wasn't any other way to represent a spline prior to acad r14
or so.

If you export a polyline acad gets an ellipse? <G>

 

No, an ellipse in ACAD is imported as a polyline into SW.

All kidding aside, if, in SW you select the polylines only, you can
convert them into a spline and delete the polylines in one operation.

 

Thanks, it is a model with cuts in a cylinders, I need the 2D ellipse in
AutoCAD and sort I could export the drawing.
