Lisp to smoothen lines

[MikeP]

I need a lisp to smoothen out lines. here is what im working with. instead of retracing over it with arcs, I was hoping someone had a program to do it for me.

Search for the "WEED" LISP - it could help you.

Its an awesome command. but I would like something that places arcs. im using this to machine on a CNC. and I need all the lines to be smooth, or it wont look right after its cut.

If you zoom into your lines, you will see how unsmooth they are. I would guess that no lisp could smooth those lines

 

Perhaps a bit of work yourself first would help.

well, common, Im not asking for a one lisp to make it perfect. but If im machining this image or any image, i cant use straight polylines. they all need to be arcs to look right or the machine cuts the image very jagged.

The file does look like it came from some raster to vector conversion.

 

I processed the top(Petals) in the RoseSmoothened.dwg attached with the commands and options listed below:

 

ConvertPoly: to Heavy

Weed(weed.lsp): .125, .5

Pedit – Spline: select weeded poly

Spline – Object: select splined poly

Flatten: select newly created splines

I personally don't think tracing it by hand is out of the question - I just did this in about 3 mins with Arcs and joined them to form a poly:
