The CAD to Geodatabase tool changes some line segments to arcs for DWG data while the deprecated Import from CAD tool correctly imports the same data, and ArcMap 10.x incorrectly displays the same DWG with arcs while 9.3.1 and previous versions display it correctly.

Workaround
In ArcGIS 10.0 and 10.1, there are two ways to correctly convert the data to a feature class when experiencing this issue:- Use the Quick Import tool of the Data Interoperability extension.- Use Python to access the hidden functionality of the deprecated Import from CAD tool. See the script syntax here: <a href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//001200000024000000" target="_blank">http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//001200000024000000</a>.In ArcGIS 10.0 and 10.1, the only way to correctly display a DWG exhibiting this behavior is to create a Data Interoperability connection using the Data Interoperability extension.
