Remove duplicate objects with OVERKILL command

00:04

We're gonna talk about the overkill command

00:06

and that one sounds a little bit violent overkill.

00:10

But basically, what it's designed to do is

00:14

delete duplicate objects in your drawing without having

00:19

to select them one at a time.

00:21

So for example, if I hover over this line work here,

00:25

the selection cycling icon

00:28

with the two little white boxes appears indicating that there's multiple

00:34

geometry on top of each other and look at this.

00:38

The selection. Cycling dialogue box shows that there's a bunch of lines here.

00:43

So if I were to do a crossing selection

00:47

and then use my list command,

00:49

there's 16 lines found on top of each other in this assembly.

00:55

So that can be a daunting task of having to go in

00:59

and delete these one at a time. So instead we're going to employ

01:04

the overkill command. So once again, we're going to the home tab,

01:09

the modify pull down and clicking

01:12

the

01:13

overkill button, which the tool tip shows that it says delete duplicate objects.

01:19

So we can select that command, then it says select objects.

01:23

So I'm going to use a window,

01:26

right? Click for enter

01:28

and then we get some options things to ignore for properties

01:32

options to ignore polyline segment widths do not break poly lines.

01:39

And three other options for collinear objects and maintain associative objects.

01:45

I'm gonna simply click the OK button

01:49

and just like that.

01:51

When I hover over the line work,

01:53

you can see that I have one single line now

01:57

instead of

01:58

multiple lines.
