This command is active when one or more objects are selected.

Choose this command to convert the selected polylines to Bezier curves. The quality of the Bezier curve depends on the number of vertices of the original polylines. If the polyline has only a few vertices the distance from the Bezier curve to the original polyline between the vertices can be much bigger than the tolerance value.

If a hole inside an area object is selected, only the border of the hole is converted.

Define the Change to Bezier curve tolerance in the menu Options - OCAD Preferences - category Drawing and Editing.
