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

  1. Select one or more polylines.

  2. Enter a number for reduction tolerance.
  • Only polylines (consisting of degree 1 segments) can be reduced.

Command-line options

Tolerance

The distance used to evaluate if a vertex should be removed.

Copy

Keeps the input polylines.
