I often help a friend convert artwork into dxf format thatcan beutilized by a simple point to point waterjet controller. Iscan tojpeg, trace in Illustrator CS2, then I have to create asecondlayer and typically create a path approximation manually witha setof intersecting 3 point arcs. In the past, I usedConceptsUnlimited for this purpose, but now that I have SW, Ifigure thatthere may be a conversion routine to convert a spline toa lowerorder set of intersecting curves withvariableradius tolerance.

If there is such a capability, I just need to know where tostartlooking in the menus/tools. 

thanks,
