I have a drawing that consists of multiple arcs /poker table that I import into Parts Wizard 2 and apply the toolpath create my shopbot file.

When I import it into to partwizard I notice that the arc is not smooth - it looks very choppy around the edge. So naturally when I apply the toolpath and cut it I get a choppy looking cut.

Is their a way to smooth the arc? in autocad or in Partwizard. I have provided the drawing in autocad for all to veiw.

thank for any help.

In AutoCad pull down the Tool menu and select Options; select the Display tab; change the display resolution for the Arc circle smoothness to a higher number and apply. Hope this helps:
