Arc Sag

This parameter (in Gerber file units) determines how arcs and circles are broken into straight line segments. The value set for this option will determine the maximum error between the approximation built from straight segments and the actual arc. Arc Sag is useful because this parameter will tell gbr2gds to use more segments to approximate a large radius arc than a small one. If set=0 then this parameter is ignored.
