I'm interested in automating the conversion of a closed curve (symmetrical) to a polygon.
Right now, I do it by using a polyline and clicking on points along the curve.

My sense is that this could be done in a script by choosing the number of desired segments and/or max angle between two segments.

Any suggestions or similar scripts for MOI?

Attached - original curve and my poly line tracing, which I'd like to automate.
The polygon is offset so that you can see it better.

Thanks.

Hi jeff, one possibility is to select your curve, run File > Export and export it to a DXF file. That has an option to write the curve as a polyline with a maximum angle parameter, and then you can read the DXF file back in using File > Import.

For using a set number of evenly spaced points I think the ReconstructCurve script from here might have that option:
