The 'Facet Curve' tool can be used for converting Arcs to LineStrings.
It has several neat options giving a lot of control over the resulting line string, like
1. getting a line string with specified number of equal length line segments, or
2. line segments of specified length
3. specified number of segments that traverse equal distance along the curve (arc length)
There are some advanced options like maximum chord height and equal parameter length.
Finally, it is not limited to arcs. You can also use it to convert B-Splines to line strings and even convert the curve to segments other than lines.

that is very cool man, but where do i take that tool from, cause i haven,t found it yet, or i should use another than normal microstation and geographics.
i lokked for it in the key in, tool boxes and i didn't saw anything.

You can start the tool with KeyIn: "Drop Curve"
Or get to it from:
[in XM] Tools > B-Spline Curves > Modify Curves > Facet Curve
[in Athens] Tools > Curves > Curve Utilities > Facet Curve
