It's also this document that I found referred in the API-doc.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I think the documentation is a bit ambigious.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>"all overlapping segments are reduced to a single segment, and segments are split at intersection points. Output paths are created for connected sequences of segments"</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Then the following illustration I think shows that the selfintersecting path (3) will be diveded into three segments (6, 7, 8).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Maybee the documentation needs to be updated?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 06:22:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-rest-apis-and-services-questions/simplify-self-intersecting-polyline/m-p/87198#M390 ArneDahlman 2012-06-18T06:22:32Z
