Convert a Spline to a line or explode

Need to save a dwg as a dxf for use on our burntable which then converts a dxf to a G Code program however my drawing contains splines which I cannot seem to explode into lines. The burntable program does not play well with splines or polylines. Any ideas

You can convert a spline to a polyline, then
explode the p'line.  2010 has that as part of PEDIT.  If you aren't
using 2010, search the internet.  There are lisp apps out there that will
do it.

Hey,

 

if you save as DXF R12 file, then splines are
automatically converted to polylines, because in version 12 splines does not
exists.

 

hope that hepls.
