Description

Reduces the number of vertices of polylines, splines and non-associative hatches with geometry boundaries represented by polylines, without changing their general shape.

Note: Simplified entities are easier to manipulate and can significantly reduce file size.

Options within the command

Simplify
Reduces the number of vertices.
max Angle and distance
Specifies the maximum distance between non-collinear vertices to straighten and the maximum change (angle) in a direction between each two consecutive segments to straighten. This method is available for lw/2d polylines, hatches and 3d polylines.
Straighten polylines arc segments?
Decides if straightens polyline arc segments (Yes/No).
Smoothen lw/2d polylines segments?
Decides if smoothens lw/2d polyline segments (Yes/No).
max Deviation
Specifies the maximum arc's length between each two adjacent vertices and maximum arc's angle between each two adjacent vertices. This method is available for lw/2d polylines and splines.
sMoothen
Controls whether consecutive straight segments (at least three), of which the endpoints lie on an arc, are replaced by a bulged polyline segment.
Maximum arc's length between each two adjacent vertices
Specifies the maximum arc's length between each two adjacent vertices.
Maximum arc's angle between each two adjacent vertices
Specifies the maximum arc's angle between each two adjacent vertices.
Minimum number of vertices per arc
Specifies the minimum number of vertices per arc.
