software to convert spline curve to tangent arcs

[foxfx]

Is there any CAD package that can automatically covert a spline curve (from DXF file) to a series of a tangent arcs?

I use Visicam from Vero Intl.
Edit - curve/polyline to lines/arcs is the command
select segments, arcs or segments and arc output, maintain tangency checkbox, cordal tolerance option, angular angle option, maximum radius option
- sound complicated, but I just go "Edit - curve/polyline to lines/arcs"
select segments and arcs - enter in a tolerance and I'm done - that 3 - 5 seconds
good luck finding another solution - if you do, let me know
thanks

I need the same software myself.
Is there a freeware that converts spline/ellipse to arcs? (with DXF)
Thanks

Can you post a sample file?

I'm attaching the file.
it's a simple dxf with spline that i need to convert to arcs in order to use my "OPTOCAD" software .

Thank you very much Gery.
Do you know any freeware that i can use for this work?

Sorry, no. But, if you save it as a v12 .dxf, the spline should get converted to short, straight line segments., if that will work for you.

Thank you Gery.
It works!
