    Can spiral lead ins be posted as arcs and not line segments?

    Is it possible to have bobcad post spiral lead ins as arcs instead of short line segments? It makes going through the code less clear as there are MANY line segments representing what could be much fewer arc calls.

    Thanks
    Brian

    Never heard of a way to do what you're asking but I've never found it that difficult to identify the end of the spiral lead-in in the code and start proof reading at that point. No need to understand what each of those individual line segments is doing.
