Convert an ARC to a Line or Polyline

I am after converting an arc to a line or polyline. I thought I could dxf out the and dxf back in to do this, however, when I dxf in I am still stuck with an arc.

A search of the forums tells me that Arc is too short or too common a phrase to search on.

Is anyone able to assist? please..

Done it. Thanks anyway.

Moved my coordinate system to the object and used MPEDIT, an express tools tool

If you just want to convert an arc to a polyline, there's no need to adjust any coordinate systems. Just convert the arc.

In addition to MPEDIT, you can also just use the PEDIT command. If you select a line or an arc, PEDIT will ask you if you want to convert it to a polyline. You can set PEDITACCEPT to 1, and it will suppress this question, and cause the command to always automatically convert lines and arcs to polylines without asking you first.
