I have a question about the control of arc features; I noticed 2x 2.2mm holes represented with 0.38mm segments while a 3.5mm hole had 0.31mm segments and a larger arc cutout has segments of ~3.5 and 3.8mm.  Can the approximation of arcs via segments be controlled so that we can specify the accuracy of the model?

If he used the 'usual' routines, it should be 16/32 segment/circle,
hardcoded as a constant. Of course a proper quadratic curve (i.e. circle
:D) would be the right answer but I *really* congrats to him for
figuring out how the whole STEP mess works out:D
