I’m copying linework from AI 2023 to Rhino 7 and an getting extra control points where one Illustrator anchor point exists.
If I copy linework from AI and paste into Rhino, I have to manually delete these extra control points every time. (see below and attached files). Note that if I use the AI export function and save a DWG, and import into Rhino 7, the the control points convert from anchor points as expected. This adds an extra 25 clicks to my process each time I need to copy an object from AI which happens dozens of times a day.
Not to mention some shapes come in with distortions like this:
When I open that .ai file in Inkscape, I get the following:
… which is the same as what I get in Rhino.
I don’t have AI so I was hoping to test copy-pasting from Inkscape, but, clearly, that won’t do much good with that file. Perhaps you can export as SVG from AI?
I’m not sure where that 25 clicks come from, but, perhaps, you can make macro that selects all objects and locks them (to make sure that existing points don’t get deleted), paste from the clipboard, select all points and deletes those, then unlock all?

Export SVG from AI and opening the result in Rhino gets me the same funky ‘G’ but I do not yet see the other thing - where is the thing in the first two images?
SVG Copy from AI to Rhino
Run Ungroup
Run IntersectSelf
Zoom in really close when Rhino marked the points and you’ll see double or triple control points in some areas but not all.
Yeah, it looks like these points show up at the curve seam. I see that svg and not AI formats add these points… I’ll add this to the pile, someone smarter than me needs to have a look. RH-76161 Import SVG: extra points
@ryan.odom - the self interssections are in the SVG files - the developer figured out a way to massage the file just enough to get those cleaned up on import. The goofy G was indeed a bug on our side.
Thanks for the report.
