To Convert Tessellated Feature Lines to Arcs

  1. Click Modify tabEdit Geometry panelFit Curve Find.
  2. Select the feature line or other object.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Move your mouse over the feature line. Arcs appear where they can be inserted. Click your mouse to insert an arc.
    • Enter Points (P). Then select the start and end point on the feature line for the arc location. This option ignores the minimum number of segments setting.

      If the start and end points span more than one segment but the points do not define an arc, an error message is displayed indicating that an arc cannot be created between the specified points. This error occurs if the segments do not all curve in the same direction or if there is a straight segment that is composed of multiple small segments (which therefore have no deflection angle).

      Note: If the segments can define an arc but are not within the tolerance, you are prompted with an option to override the tolerance setting and insert the arc.
    • Enter Options (O) to display the Fit Curve dialog box where you can change the tolerance and minimum number of segments settings.
