How can I reduce the amount of points

[anonymous]

how do I reduce the amount of points the sign torch files have?

The drawing lines have many many data points. And each shape takes up a lot of space.

If I draw a line in auto cad, there are three points, one on each end and one in the middle. If I draw a spline in an arc ,there are only as many as I click. For a circle, 4 points.


How can I reduce the amount of points and still be able to cut the shape on my cnc plasma and still have a smooth cut?

 

[SignTorch]

for starters, you can practice up on technical drafting and drawing by conventional and computer methods for 20 years each and learn that lines have exactly two points and autocad grab handles are not points

SignTorch DXF files have smooth (tangent) arcs - in continuous polylines - SignTorch files are very smooth with a nearly optimal number of points

the arcs are tangent - each point is perfectly smooth - a cnc can maintain constant speed when arcs are tangent

the 1st image is autocad displaying multiple grab handles for each point
the 2nd image is corel draw displaying one node for each point
