I would like to explode a polygon containing lines and arcs into its parts and preserve the arcs. I am reading an autocad drawing and I tried the chopper transformer but it chopped the arc into line segments which is not what I need. Has anyone done this before?

@garydlester​ , try setting the geometrypartextractor to the settings pictured in the attached image. I just changed the "Part to Test" to "This Part" in your workspace and was able to extract the arc.

I've had success with the PathSplitter to break polygons into lines and arcs.
