Hi John,

You can use OVERKILL command to delete duplicate items. But there instances that you can’t find the OVERKILL command because it is an express tool command and the one who installed it might forget to include it. To be able to use it, check your AutoCAD CD and install it or download it from AutoCAD Website.

Remove duplicate lines from dxf

Hey John, 

You are to correct it and select the top curve and prod it to the side, leaving the rest of the lines in place. Just keep doing this thing until you have a complete drawing off to the side. Delete the image that you have started. Of course, you now have to link up with the end nodes together. Corel now has an programmed function to do this (join nodes) in Version 15.

 

At times a different version of Autocad will not go with it. There are some programs that will allow you to export different version of a DFX file for just this reason. If you customer produce the DXF from some other drawing program, maybe they can send you the drawing in some other format such as EPS or AI.
