Hi
I would like to take all the vertices out of a multiple-vertices polyline so that it reduces to just its start and end points, can this be done?
This..... ?
(defun c:Test (/ ss i sn l p) (if (setq ss (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "*POLYLINE")))) (repeat (setq i (sslength ss)) (setq sn (ssname ss (setq i (1- i)))) (setq l (vl-remove-if-not (function (lambda (x) (member (car x) '(0 100 8 70 90 410 210))) ) (entget sn) ) ) (setq p (vl-remove-if-not (function (lambda (x) (eq (car x) 10))) (entget sn) ) ) (entmakex (append l (list (car p) (last p)))) (entdel sn) ) ) (princ) )

Another way, straightening the Polyline from start to end, if 'ename' is the entity name of the Polyline:
(command "_.pedit" ename "_e" "_s")
(repeat (1- (cdr (assoc 90 (entget ename))))
(command "")
); repeat
(command "_g" "_x" "")
And another, that depends on the fact that if not given 40/41/42 values for widths and bulge after vertex locations, it will assume zero for all of them:
(setq edata (entget ename))
(entmake
(append
(vl-remove-if '(lambda (x) (member (car x) '(10 40 41 42))) edata); all except vertices/widths/bulges
(list (assoc 10 edata)); first vertex
(list (assoc 10 (reverse edata))); last vertex
)
)
(entdel ename)
And another:
(command
"_.pline"
(vlax-curve-getStartPoint ename)
(vlax-curve-getEndPoint ename)
""
"_.matchprop" ename "_last" ""
"_.erase" ename ""
)
