DRW to DXF curve interpolation precision

Hi all,

I'm looking to export a DRW containing several curves (non-circular arcs, such as ellipses) to DXF. When I export it using the standard settings, the ellipses are approximated/interpolated as multiple straight lines with lengths ranging from 0.69 to 0.97 mm. Is there any way of controlling this interpolation precision? I'm looking for lengths no larger than 0.2 mm, but even finer control would be ideal.

Thanks
