less curve points in drawings - automatic

Hello! Sorry for the late reply.. I need dxf for the cutter and yes, the conversion is painstaking...
A traced tree silhouette, for example, (and my current task) is a million curve points, converted into spline in dxf...and spline to polyline is another million. Maybe i'm doing something wrong or maybe that's the way it's supposed to be...is there a faster way to simplify the conversion? Simpler dxf, that's what I need :)

Thank you all veery much for your help! :)

see if your cutter can bring in EPS or PDF files instead. Maybe you are giving it substandard data format when you don't need to...

An automatic trace is, in my opinion, never good enough so you can probably use "Reduce nodes" like Ariel suggested, and the curves will most likely not be any worse than they were after the trace.
Keep an eye on it though, sometimes Reduce nodes can be a bit too helpful. :-)
