Is there a solution for DXF or SVG import adding nodes on curves?

Hi everyone, I have made a couple projects either buying dxf’s or downloading free ones. and every time i run into a time consuming problem which is the Spline generated curves become hundreds of nodes, which if I’m correct adds direction changes on gcode takes more time and is of lesser quality.
So the main question is does anyone know of a better workflow solution than trying to redraw every curve in Carbide Create (or Fusion360 for the matter, as both do the same).
I add a couple images of the same file, open in Inkscape vs open in CC.


Thanks in Advance.
Allan.

An SVG should be imported exactly.

I’d suggest opening the DXF in LibreCAD, then exporting as a MakerCAM SVG.
