Menu : CADPower-> Conversion-> Lines/Polyline/Arc/Splines-> Convert arced polylines to linear segment polylines
CmdLine : CP_PLARC2PL
Converts arc segments in polylines or ARC objects to polylines with linear interpolated segments. The arc section is approximated by connecting with a number of straight line segments. The linear segment of the original polyline is left as it is. The arc approximation (interpolation) can be done by any one of the three methods:
Angular
In this case, sampling is done at the specified angular interval (in degrees) along the arc segment. This is useful when you want to replace an arc or circle with linear segments at every fixed angular interval like 5 or 10 degrees. This method is usually not preferred to deal with polyline arc segments in surveyed horizontal curves where it is desirable to adopt either of the other two parameters described below.
Chord Length
This is the maximum allowable chord length during the interpolation of the arcs.
Chord Perpendicular (crown distance)
This is the maximum crown distance of the chord that is allowable during the arc interpolation. The crown distance is the distance from the midpoint of the chord to the arc.

Menu :CADPower-> Conversion-> Lines/Polyline/Arc/Splines-> Convert linear polyline to arc (arced) polylines CmdLine : CP_PLINE2ARC
The CP_PLINE2ARC command converts linear segment polylines into arc objects or polyline with arcs. If you have polylines defined with a number of points connected by linear segments and would like to approximate it with an arc segment that connects every n th vertex, then CP_PLINE2ARC is the command to use. An arc is defined by three points.
Create arc for each polyline segment: Checking this box creates arc between each segment of polyline which will be useful to prepare data for many CNC applications where you need to provide the input as arc instead of polyline geometry.
Number of vertices between arc points: Specify the number of vertices to skip between arc points.
Output Mode: Specifies the type of output object to be created. This can be either an ARC object or polyline with arc segments.
ARC objects: Choosing this type causes the output to be ARC objects.
Polyline arcs: Choosing this type creates polyline object with arced segments.

Menu : CADPower -> Conversion -> Lines/Polyline/Arc/Splines-> Convert lines and arcs to polylines CmdLine : CP_LINE2PL

Menu : CADPower -> Conversion -> Lines/Polyline/Arc/Splines -> Convert splines to polylines CmdLine : CP_SPL2PL
It is possible to use the CP_SPL2PL command to convert splines to polylines in three different ways.
Join Fit points: This option joins all the Fit points (DXF Code 11) of a spline and creates a polyline out of it.
Join Control points: This option joins all the Control (DXF Code 10) points of a spline and creates a polyline out of it.
Re-create spline geometry (DXF method): This method is the most precise and attempts to re-create the geometry of the spline as closely as possible. It works by creating the DXF output of the spline object in Release 12 format and then imports it in again as a polyline. With long polylines, this may occasionally cause AutoCAD/BricsCAD to become unstable and even crash. Please ensure that you save your drawing prior to running this command.
Interpolate by inter-vertex distance: This method allows specifying a distance between the two vertices of the polyline that will be created.
Vertex distance: Specify the vertex distance here. Every polyline vertex will be spaced apart by this amount.

Menu : CADPower -> Conversion -> More Conversion -> Convert Zero lengths to POINTs CmdLine : CP_0LEN2PNT
CP_0LEN2PNT converts all zero length objects into Points so that they can be easily identified and handled. The program accepts both lines, polylines and 3dfaces.
Often, because of a programming error or an improper import from other CAD systems or during processing of 3dface information for modeling purposes, zero length lines, polylines and 3dfaces get created. These objects are mostly redundant and do not contribute to the data in any way.
The standard object selection dialog box appears and allows the selection of polylines, lines and 3dfaces.
The elevation of the point object is the average of all the vertices.

Current: Choosing this option places the points in current layer.
Specify: Choosing this option allows to specify the layer for placing the points.
Label-name: Displays the selected layer name.
Select: Pops-up the Select Label Layer dialog box for choosing the required layer.
Delete original objects: Deletes the original zero length objects after converting them into points.
Tech Info: The points created will acquire new handles but any extended entity data in the source objects will be transferred to the points.
