Hi All
Is there a way to reduce the entities in this file ? at the moment it has 1078 lines..
Is it possible to convert a bunch of lines into splines and then explode to arcs?
Any help will be appreciated..
Cheers
John Hyslop
PS I want to lasercut this..

What about a polyline with reduced segments?
BTW: Tasmania would be much less work ....

Hi Husky
I tried an AutoCAD Lisp file to convert polyline to spline but when I exploded it in Qcad I finished up with twice as many entities
I don't mind loosing some..

launch "Polyline from Selection" (OC),
select the polyline,
launch "Simplify (OS),
"play" with the tolerance in the option bar to see what works best for you - I assume something between 0.1 - 0.5. The Tolerance bar has a Node indicator and a life preview is provided in the drawing too ...
