This command converts CAD linear (CAD Curve and/or CAD Wire) into polylines.

Select the CAD linear shapes you want to convert and launch the command.

  1. In the Options settings, you can choose which discretization will be applied on your CAD shape, i.e. how fine the shape will be sampled into a discrete representation.

    1. If you choose Current deviation, then the deviation will be set from the current display.

    2. If you choose Absolute deviation, then the maximum deviation between the CAD model and the discretized shape will be below the chosen distance.

    3. If you choose Adaptive deviation, then the deviation will be different for each sub-element of the CAD model.
      The chosen ratio will be used as a guide to compute a local, adaptive deviation for each sub-element.

      It is recommended to use an adaptive deviation as it requires less computational effort for an equivalent or better quality than an absolute deviation.
