The ReducePolyline command uses the Douglas-Peucker algorithm to reduce vertices of a polyline. Another algorithm is used to remove short segments from the simplified polyline. Segments in a straight line will be merged into a single segment.
                                             
                                        
Steps
- 
                                                    Select one or more polylines. 
- Enter a number for reduction tolerance.
- Only polylines (consisting of degree 1 segments) can be reduced.
