It's very frustrating.  If I were to make the sameoddballflat pattern in ProE (wildfire) and Solidworks (2007 SP1.1)theresultant .DXF output of the same spline from SW 2007 hasperhaps20x (sometimes MUCH MORE) the number of control points asfromProE.

These are simple splines with 20 or more times the necessarydata. This becomes problematic with large nested autocuttingwith.DXF files.  I understand that this may simply be a caseof"more RAM available, so more bloat permitted" syndrome asis oftentypical of modern software.  Heck... it is moreaccurate,right?  

I want my data dumbed down a bit.  I know more accuracyisgreat and all, but I do not need it and it slows downproduction. IT also slows down design since once we make .DXFoutput theengineers and techs who want best results must go in toACAD andmanually "digitize arcs" over the splines,manuallyestimating tangency and then deleting the bloated originalpolylineas output by SW.

Does anyone know how to force a reduction of polylinesaccording toa chordal accuracy or something like that?  Thatwould beEXACTLY what I want.  But any way to reduce data onpolylineoutput would be nice.
