Command Options

Option	Description
Entity properties to ignore	Selected properties are ignored when comparing duplicate or overlapping entities.
Comparison tolerance	Sets the tolerance for the comparison process. If set to 0 (zero), entities must match completely before being evaluated in the overkill process.
Options	If checked: Maintain associative entities: associative entities are not processed. Optimize segments within polylines: 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. Ignore polyline segment widths: ignores the Width property of polyline segments. Don't break polylines: polyline entities are kept intact. Join collinear entities that partially overlap: partially overlapping entities are unified into a single entity. Join collinear entities when aligned end to end: collinear lines and polylines having coinciding endpoints are unified into a single entity or segment.
