Delete Duplicate Objects Dialog Box

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

OVERKILL (Command)

Tool Set: Drafting tab > Modify panel > Delete Duplicate Objects.

List of Prompts

The following options are displayed.

Object Difference 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:

Use these settings to determine which object properties are ignored during comparison.

Color

Object color is ignored.

Layer

Object layers are ignored.

Linetype

Object linetypes are ignored.

Linetype Scale

Object linetype scale is ignored.

Lineweight

Object lineweight is ignored.

Thickness

Object thickness is ignored.

Transparency

Object transparency is ignored.

Plot style

Object plot style is ignored.

Material

Object material is ignored.

Options

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

Optimize polyline segments

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 co-linear objects that partially overlap

Overlapping objects are combined into single objects.

Combine co-linear 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.
