Steps to Accomplish
The Facet Curve tool inside Curves tool or Curve Utility tools can achieve this.
Facet to provides different options: Line strings, arcs, point, etc

The method used are distinct in the following methods:
- Equal Arc Length — The B-spline curve is evaluated evenly along the arc. Each segment has the same arc length, as defined by the value for Number.
- Equal Chord Length — The B-spline curve is evaluated at a given number of points such that the distance between each successive point is the same.
- Fixed Chord Length — The distance between each pair of successive points evaluated is the same as the chord length.
- Max. Chord Height — The maximum chord height for all of the line segments is less than the Chord Height.
- Equal Parameter Length — The B-spline curve is evaluated evenly in the parameter space by the Number value.
Note: To get more accurate results increase the "Number" value in the Facet Curve tool.
This value represents the number of segments used to approximate the curve.
