    I need to have only arc/lines for my cad-cam programs
    Is possible to convert a dxf with nurbs in arc/lines only?

    Thanks

    I try

    test_kadkam_nurbs.dxf

    and this is what I want
    test_kadkam_target.dxf

    If you simply want to connect all the separate path - select all with the selector tool then drag select with the node tool so every node is selected and hit "Join selected nodes".

    It looks like "arc fitting" is desired similar to this: https://inkscape.org/forums/cutplot/splines-and-arcs-for-cnc-cutter/#c24040

    There are some macros in FreeCad that make conversion from splines to arcs. I don't know if there are easy ways to improve the precision.

    Compare in this svg:

    Thank you very much for your time, this is interesting.
    Can you explain exactly which freecad macro you used for this result?

    We can therefore confirm that this function is not yet present on Inkscape?

    I found a macro online in the freecad forums.

    I don't know if there is a similar extension in Inkscape.
