What is the Remove Overlapping Entities Tool?
The Remove Overlapping Entities tool is a command that can be accessed from the Modify menu, or by typing OVERKILL on the command line. This tool analyzes the selected objects in your drawing and identifies any overlapping or duplicate entities, such as lines, arcs, polylines, circles, text, dimensions, etc. It then deletes the redundant entities and preserves the remaining ones, resulting in a cleaner and simpler drawing.
The Remove Overlapping Entities tool has the following local menu options:
Combine Overlap: This option allows you to combine collinear objects that partially overlap into single objects. For example, if you have two line segments that share a common endpoint and have the same direction, this option will merge them into one line segment.
Color, Layer, Line Type: These options allow you to select these local menu items to not ignore objects properties during comparison. For example, if you have two overlapping lines that have different colors, layers, or line types, these options will determine whether they are considered as duplicate entities or not. By default, these options are turned off, meaning that the tool will ignore the properties of the objects and only compare their geometry.
Event Viewer: This option allows you to view the count of objects that were changed (duplicated) by the tool. You can also use the Undo command to revert the changes made by the tool.
