Brad,
Did need to do a milling of the PCB? I do know that true ARCs used to
be prefered for the way some of the older milling software which needed to
interperet out an extra smooth outline for the cutter.

Leo,
No the simple clearance issue is not what I had run into. It's been a while
so it is bugging me trying to remember precisely what did occur with the
software arcs enabled that had me turn them off from then on.

Arcs did cause me a problem at one point. Since then I never turn
them on. (Haven't seen the problem again so I have forgotten what
the precise problem was.)
In a nutshell: they mess up your clearance. Start and endpoints of
the individual segments are OK because they sit on the true arc but
the line segments in between violate your clearance, literally by
cutting corners.....
