How to display the vertices while in object mode? how to show vertex in object mode ? I'm in object mode and executing 'curve simplify' , but as i change the parameter , it's hard to see how far i've done the simplification without seeing the vertices. So i have to go back and forth between object and edit mode to check. 

Thanks
Parent a colored little icosphere under the object and turn on Duplication - Verts:



This lets you see even vertices on straight edges of ngons, something wire edges don't show.
