Importing DXF files to have smooth lines

I am uploading someone elses .dxf files and the curved lines are not smooth which is causing me problems for other things.

 

Any ideas how to solve without having to redraw?

Short of getting a nice curved dxf from the source, its a redraw.

 

Fusion has some short cuts, like 3 point circles and closed spline, when fixing the source is incompatible / unavailable.

Depending on the length of the lines, the Mesh tools may save you a bit of time redrawing:

@etfrench  Clever idea. Just like to add you can skip the export to stl if you create a base feature and select the bodies and convert. 

Note use of Selection Priority so I can select the bodies. Not sure why the bodies folder is removed while in a base feature making it difficult to select them without using filters.

More than 3 years have passed since this discussion. Any new ideas or possibilities in Fusion? 

The image below is also imported from DXF. Mayby is there some script to replace this set of short lines in splines/circles?
