Specifying number of points when converting spline to polyline

[Anonymous]

Hello folks,

I'm using the 'splinedit' command to convert some splines to polylines, which requires specifying a precision value P that correlates to the number of points N in the automatically generated polyline. However, the relationship between P and N depends on the nature of the spline (the number of inflection points, etc.).

For my project, it would be ideal if I instead had control directly over the number of points N. Is there a way to achieve this with AutoCAD or other software? (I'm a student using AutoCAD 2023.)

I have dealt a lot with the topic of converting curves to polylines. And I came to the conclusion that I don't care how many dots or segments I get. I need to be able to set the allowable deviation from the original spline. What to know for sure that the polyline will have a minimum of segments but will not visually differ. I had to write a separate plugin for this. See descriptions here and here. Perhaps this option will work for you too.
