Turning lines to arcs

[chrisj380]

Was wondering if anyone has encountered this before. I have a drawing that is in dxf format and it shows tiny lines that make up the image. Is there a way to make it one continuous shape? I tried smoothing..it just turns it in a circle. Any help or advice is welcome.
Thanks, Chris

If you have the image of the file just use a screen shot save it as a JPG and then use Inkscape to trace it. This will make it into a combined image not line segments I'm sure other software can do the same thing.

You don't say what software you are using?
So, in Autocad you can choosed Modify/Edit Polyline/M/select entire drawing/Yes/Join and you should have one continuous polyline.

Im using plasma cam. I also have Adobe programs. The problem seems to only come in when i get the dxf to plasma cam software.
