    Why big arc's from .dwg?

    I'm using Express Viewer (.dwf) to send
    AutoCAD files I don't want others to modify
    but at the same time they can view and plot.
    The problem is on some of my drawings when
    converted to(.dwf) big arcs or circles
    show up that are not on the AutoCAD (.dwg).
    Does anyone know why Express Viewer
    is messing up my files?

    Any help would be appreciated,
    Charles

    What version of AutoCAD are you using. A long time
    ago we had a problem with arcs, but that got fixed. Or so I
    thought...

    He's using LT 2002.  If he's using LT to plot
    to a DWF and getting arcs in the DWF file, I suspect it's a tweaked .pc3
    file.  The DWF plotters tesselate the arcs, it's not a user-configurable
    option.
