[Manifold-l] Points to Lines - v 6.5

[JBurn_GIS]

Make sure that you have a table w/ your point coordinates, a "grouping" column (a default "0" field will do) and a field with the point order.  Import a drawing from your table - you will then have the option to create a line from the points.  Make the line id your "grouping" field, and use your order field for the order.  You should now get your line.  Unlink it and perform your simplify to your desired precision.

Cheers.

  Hello All:

          I have 6400+ points, 20 m apart that I need to join into a line.  Can't find a Transform or Overlay command that seems to apply although I'm sure it's there somewhere.

          Also, I need to thin/weed/decimate the resulting line into far fewer points.  I think Simplify will work but I need the line first (?).  Any thoughts here, also?

                  Many TIA, cheers . . . . .
