Delete Duplicate Objects Dialog Box

Removes duplicate geometry as well as overlapping lines, arcs, and polylines. Also, combines partially overlapping or contiguous ones.

The following prompts are displayed.

Object Comparison Settings

Tolerance

Controls the precision with which OVERKILL makes numeric comparisons. If this value is 0, the two objects being compared must match before OVERKILL modifies or deletes one of them.

Ignore Object Property

Select these object properties to ignore them during comparison.

  • Color
  • Layer
  • Linetype
  • Linetype scale
  • Lineweight
  • Thickness
  • Transparency
  • Plot style
  • Material

Options

Use these settings to control how OVERKILL deals with lines, arcs, and polylines.

Optimize Segments Within Polylines

When selected, individual line and arc segments within selected polylines are examined. Duplicate vertices and segments are removed.

Also, OVERKILL compares individual polyline segments with completely separate line and arc segments. If a polyline segment duplicates a line or arc object, one of them is deleted.

If this option is not selected, polylines are compared as discreet objects and two sub-options are not selectable.

  • Ignore Polyline Segment Width. Ignores segment width, while optimizing polyline segments.
  • Do Not Break Polylines. Polyline objects are unchanged.
Combine Collinear Objects That Partially Overlap

Overlapping objects are combined into single objects.

Combine Collinear Objects When Aligned End to End

Objects that have common endpoints are combined into single objects.

Maintain Associative Objects

Associative objects are not deleted or modified.
