I use a macro called grthin.mcl to reduce the control points in a polyline. The macro came with V11.5. To use it group the polyline and execute the grthin.mcl and answer the dialog bos that will ask for the value for VMT. (tolerance band) I usually use .001 to .002. It will reduce the number of points greatly.

Hi guys,
Recently had the following problem. I used WALL OFFSET on a Polyline to create a roughing pass, this created a Polyline with over 6,000 points. The code came out with a similar number of lines. Tried altering SMF file questions 21, 86 & 87 to no avail.
In the end I put the following at the start of my TMP file LINE section:-
#IF(#LNLEN<=.01)<#UPDATE,#XPOS,#YPOS)> #IF(#LNLEN<=.01)<#EXIT>
(The code is in mm). This shortened the code to an acceptable 500 lines or so but have a feeling this isn't the right way to do it!
What is the correct way to shorten the code?
