I've converted an object to a path, but the resulting path has many unnecessary nodes. For example, something like a capital 'V' could be drawn with three nodes, but has 5 (two at the bottom, two on one end and one on the other).

The extra nodes don't affect how the path looks, but since I plan to use the geometry to control the movement of a CNC machine, the redundant parts of the path are making the machine duplicate movements.

I can manually delete the nodes and get what I want, but the path is far to big to do this by hand. Is there a way to do this automatically? I'm looking for a way to 'flatten' the path so that any two nodes occupying the same coordinates are combined.

Thanks.

Yes, my segments are curves so that won't work. I don't understand your suggestion about low magnification. Could you be more specific?

Thanks for the suggestions.
