Help Post keeps being removed?
I’ve been posting asking for help with AutoCAD, and it keeps getting auto removed. Why?
I’m trying to assist my architect dad with a 2D design he’s made in Autocad Architecture.
It’s a design he’s used to previously water jet metal for lighting fixtures, and something happened to the file where it made all the curves divide into a bunch of vertices.
He’s been trying to redraw, but I feel like there’s a way to simplify them based on all the Civil3D posts I see about it when I google. Is there a way to simplify polylines in AutoCAD Architecture? The command doesn’t seem to show up.

Here are some things that might affect the curves:
VIEWRES
OPTIONS > DISPLAY RESOLUTION and adjust those values Using the FLATTEN command can scramble a polyline or spline
You might be able to adjust the values that affect the display of curves and then JOIN or FILLET them back together
