Forum Post: Convert Multiple Arcs to Lines

$

I have shapes made of multiple line and arc segments. I need to eliminate all arcs from these shapes, converting them to line segments. The Facet Curve tool is inadequate. There doesn't seem to be a way to have the degree of curvature be the factor which sets the line segment length. For example, say I have 50 arcs, all with a radius of 100 ft, which vary in length from 10 ft long to 500 ft long. It is inefficient treat these 50 variable length arcs one at a time using the Facet Curve tool and manually selecting the number of segments every time. If you try to do them all at once, at maybe a number of 100, your 500 ft long arcs would work out well resulting in 5 ft long line segments, but your 10 ft long arcs would be ridiculous with a new line every 0.1 ft. I thought maybe there was an answer in dropping the linestyle, but in order to do that the line would have to have breaks instead of being continuous. I tried converting to a dashed line, then dropping the linestyle. But when I tried to reconnect all the line segments, I could not find an efficient way to do that either. Please assist. Thanks.
