In MI Pro 7.0 there is a SNAP/THIN option under the OBJECTS menu...it provides some functions to generalize/simplify by thinning out nodes on lines...

MapInfo describes it as: The process of simplifying a data set to a size which can be easily manipulated and represented. For example, a river may have many twists and turns; however, if a map covers a very large area, the river may be represented as a straight line. Similarly, in a map of a very large area, a city might be represented as a point marker. I have to generalize the rail network for illustrations. Which function in MI should I use? Thank you for your help.
