Creating a circle - Two many straight paths?

[teddy27]

I draw a circle shapes in Adobe Ill CS3 and import it and apply a toolpath in Part Wizard.

When I cut it on the shopbot the circle is not smooth and has to many straight lines/paths forming the circle.

Is their anyway for to cut a smoother circle?
is it the drawing problen or toolpath problem?

This sounds similar to this thread, so you might check these answers:

Try saving your toolpath with the shopbot arc inch postprocessor. Or it may be a mechanical issue as outlined in the thread above.

I got a file from a guy that was like that. it looked normal but cut with flats it was just a circle. most of his parts had issues with them. I think it is an import issue and if I remember right try importing it as an eps file.

Circles seem to be a constant topic, I posted a circle "roundness" test earlier this morning in another thread, it may of interest in this thread also.

Thank you for the link and feedback.

I think their is problem with the cad autocad drawing. The arc looks very choppy.
