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.
This is great!
FYI to others, these tools are found on main tabs (file, edit, etc.). Go to Tools>Curves>Curve Utilities
Lastly, review your new length, and adjust accordingly. Either end point segment may be shorter.
