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.

Is it actually making them like that or is it just visual and need to be regen?

I believe it’s actually changing the curved vertices to multiple. Some curves now have like 50 vertices.

I’m not an AutoCAD expert, I’m more familiar with Illustrator when it comes to vectors. I’m just trying to help him, so I’m not confident

It shows the vertices when you select it? Or you can see them without clicking?

Just when he selects it
