Converting Curves to Linear...

Converting Curves to Linear...

Hi all - is there a way to convert Nurbes curves to Linear curves? By
which I mean convert them, as opposed to generating new models.

I've imported an eps file, subtracted all subcurves (700+) and extruded
models from them. I have had to manually rename all 700+ models, but
have since realised I needed to convert to linear curves prior to
extruding and naming the models. Simply going back and doing 'fit to
curve' to generat linear versions of the Nurbs isn't a very pleasant
option, as it would mean re-doing some very, very laborious, torturous,
not to mention time consuming work.

Ideally I could change the Nurbs to linear, which would also keep the
relation with the extruded models intact, and therefore keep the renamed
models intact too....

Any ideas?

Cheers all!
