Yep, grthin.mcl. Keep in mind that it doesn't let SmartCAM
know that the model has changed (set the dirty flag). There is no UNDO
(save your work first) and that once the VMT variable is set that you'll have to
remove (or change) it if you are experimenting with it.

output.

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.
