Lines in the view are stretched after conversion to AutoCAD DWG

Lines in the view are stretched after conversion to AutoCAD DWG

This is something that comes up after every release of Inventor  and I thought I would post the link to the fix here:

The biggest issue is the spline creation.

  •  Edit the  .INI file created for exporting the Inventor files to AutoCAD I have a customized file as well as a customized Template.
  •  Find the line "REPLACE SPLINE=No", change the No with Yes and save the file

 My Customized ini file:
