Hello!
I have a problem with too many vertices on a 2d object. I want to lower down the number of vertices but still keep approximately the same shape.

Thanks for the recommendation [that's my PLDIET.lsp routine]. The PLD command there does this to that shape, given a maximum distance to straighten of 50 and accepting defaults for the rest, reducing it from 368 vertices to 82:
If that turns out kinkier than you want in areas of tigher curvature, use a smaller number than 50.

The link above is dead and the second link only takes me to the autodesk forum. Given how slow autocad is with polylines/splines it would be great if this could get sorted in one single software rather than fixing it elsewhere and import it back in.

Cadalyst CAD Tips are currently not downloadable, and I've told them about it, and they say they're working on it. I don't know why the other link doesn't go to a specific message, other than the vagaries of the passage of time, but in any case, here's the routine.
