Default Anyone know of a way to apply an object size threshold?

For example you can trace a bitmap and set a limit to the minimum area to sample so that anything smaller than X^2 pixels wont get traced.

Is there a way to do this with vector art that I already have?

I want to automatically remove the smallest paths that are only a "stab" on the vinyl cutter. These stabby stabs make up for half+ of the time spent cutting a detailed design and are not worth their cut.

One crazy solution is to rasterize the image, and re-trace it using different settings but this naturally roughens up text and other small details.

So: any ideas?
