FreeCad delete nodes

[6BPencil]

Hello, my name is Scott and new to FreeCAD. I am a freelance graphic designer and one of my clients has a need for logo design to be DXF format. I use CorelDRAW and AI but primarily CorelDRAW.

The CorelDRAW native DXF export is bad really bad. even with the new 2020 edition. There is a plugin that works well call eCut 6 for Coreldraw. The export works but does increase the note count.

I have AutoCAD 2021 trial installed but it cannot open the exported eCut 6 DXF. I can export the FreeCAD as DXF and it open in AutoCAD no problem but FreeCAD adds even more nodes.

My question is how do I manually deleted nodes either on a poly-line or arc with out changing the shape. in CorelDRAw it rather simple delete the selected node but could not find a similar function in FreeCAD.

Please see attached screen grab comparison

Note that the blue squares need not all be nodes. AutoCAD will also add these grips at f.e. the midpoint of curves.

Without a DXF file it is hard to help.
Available DXF option depend on the FreeCAD version.

The DXF-format is used as file format by these 2D-CAD-programs: https://librecad.org/ and https://www.qcad.org/en/.
So I would try the above programs first.
