I'm creating a 12' buffer all the pipe in an oil field. When trying to do this, autocad keeps crashing. I can do it to some of the pipes but it's too much for my computer to do all of the pipes. But I did notice that the buffer is made up of a lot of points. For example if you made a buffer of a point that buffer would have a ployline drawn around it that is made up of a 1000 nodes or more. I don't need that much detail. Is there a setting that we can change to make the buffer not so detailed, thus creating polylines with less points, thus maybe Autocad won't crash.
