-Overkill

Deletes duplicate entities and overlapping lines, arcs or polylines and unifies partly overlapping or contiguous ones.

Accessing the Command

command bar: -overkill

: -overkill

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select entities: (Compose a selection set, then press Enter.)

Enter an option to change [Done/Ignore/tOlerance/optimize Plines/combine parTial overlap/combine Endtoend/Associativity] <done>: (Enter an option or press Enter to accept the default settings.)

Command Options

Option	Description
Done	Executes the overkill procedure.
Ignore	Sets the entity properties to ignore. Prompts you: [None/All/Color/LAyer/Ltype/ltScale/LWeight/Thickness/TRansparency/plotSTyle/Material] <None>: Enter an option.
Tolerance	Sets the tolerance for the comparison process. If set to 0 (zero), entities must match completely before being evaluated in the overkill process. Prompts you:
Optimize Plines	Segments of selected polylines are evaluated individually, duplicate vertices and segments are removed. If lines or arcs duplicate a polyline segment, one of them is deleted, which might break a polyline, unless the Don't break polylines option is checked. Prompts you: Optimize segments within plines [segment wiDth/Break polyline/Yes/No] <Yes>: Enter an option. Segment width: Prompts you: Ignore segment widths [Yes/No] <No>: If Yes, ignores the Width property of polyline segments. Break polylne: Prompts you: Break polylines [Yes/No] <Yes>: If No, polyline entities are kept intact Yes: Optimizes polyline entities. No: Polyline entities are not optimized..
Combine partial overlap	Partially overlapping entities are unified into a single entity. Prompts you: Combine co-linear entities that partially overlap [Yes/No] <Yes>:
Combine End to End	Collinear lines and polyline segments having coinciding endpoints are unified into a single entity or segment. Prompts you: Combine co-linear entities when aligned end to end [Yes/No] <Yes>:
Associativity	Associative entities are not processed. Prompts you: Maintain associative entities [Yes/No] <Yes>:
