I have a drawing on a polar grid.
I have used Arc "free" to arc a track on a circumference of around 700mm.
The track is not an arc but steps every 50mm.

Concentric steps is set to 0.001
Divide circle I have up'ed to 10000

Is this a limitation Easy PC

Due to limitations in the range of coordinates you can use in Windows GDI, we do use 'arc approximation' for some arcs with very large radii. But the segments are stored in the Easy-PC data model as true arcs, and should be plotted as such when you output to Gerber, PDF, etc.

If this doesn't adequately answer your question then I suggest you send a small example to support@numberone.com and we'll take a closer look.
