Actually MoI does already recognize arcs, circles, lines, and polylines and will export those as the corresponding AutoCAD entity rather than as a generic spline.

But for arcs and lines this will only happen if the entire curve is an arc or line - I guess you're talking about a multi-segment curve where one segment is a bendy spline and then also one or more segments within it are lines?

I don't think that AutoCAD has any fully generic "segmented curve" type entity where the segments can be splines or line segments and still be joined together. So I guess you'd want an option to explode multi-segment curves and then have their separate pieces be exported as a line or arc when possible?
