The sketcher does support straight lines and circular arcs. The conversion of any element that can not be represented with those will fail. |

The conversion of any element that can not be represented with either a straight line or circular curve will just fail, i.e. the item will not appear in the sketch. See also the BSpline conversion in the forum https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=25082 |
