La la land
First I don't use AUtocad often or any at all and the last time I used it well was about 10 years ago,
I have a file with a curves and I would like to get it smooth out. It has stairs instead of smooth curves. I transfered the picture from a TIFF file and converted it to a dwg/dwt file.
But now I don't know how to get it smooth.

I have autocad 14 so does anyone here know how I can get smoothed on the curves instead of stairs and jaggies?

I appreciate your help people.

Thanks
 
How big is the file? I might be able to help you out. I have the latest versions of several CAD programs and usually don't have a problem smoothing out splines.
 
pedit the lines that are jagged and use the 's' once they are peditted. that will smooth the lines into nice curves.
 
What language is this ?
I wish there were english subtitles under each post.

what he said ^^^^, I have been using autocad since version 4...but still only know about 2% of it lol......but it isn't stairs, it is steps, or segments.....
 
I only clicked on this thread because I thought you were giving away a 3-D, animated, naked women for Autocad users. Oh, well.
 
This MIGHT work :
-modify the "steps" into a PLINE using pedit (exploded blocks before)

-then "pedit" -----> SPLINE

It will fit the curve, but will still have MANY verticies and may be "wavy".

An easier way may be to draw a multi point SPLINE over the steps (using many verticies, and then fit the curve yourself using the GRIPS

Also:
When you fit the curve - use the middle of the horizontal of the step -
