Simplify Path

Use Simplify Path to remove unneeded RCPs from a segment. After designing and modifying a path, there may be more RCPs than required to define the path. NX considers an RCP to be unnecessary if it joins two collinear (within tolerance) path segments or two D-Cubed controlled spline segments and is not being used as a discontinuity, or is at the branch point of an adjoining segment.

You can remove all but the segment's start and end RCP.
