Select a number of Entities (arcs or lines) by Window and convert globally to Strings

We have a customer inquiry that have a large number of 3 Pt Arcs that have variable elevations thru the arc (arc is on a grade).

Therefore to transfer the arcs correctly to AutoCAD dwg, you need to insert the arcs as a String. Then export to ACAD as a 3D Polyline & then the polyline displays variable Z values as you step through the arc.

If you have a large number of arcs to convert to strings, it is very time consuming doing one at a time.

Therefore propose an option to convert Arcs by window selection to Strings. Direction of strings based on arc creation.

    We can look at a specific function for Arcs. Currently Data Cleanup is a quick way to convert lines and arcs into strings. Select the data required and on the data cleanup dialog tick on "Join linework to create strings". The arc and lines do not need to be connected.

    For a surveying program it's strange this issue has not been raised before. We must redraw all arc in another CAD program to get our DTM correct. Major inconvience
