The "Combine co-linear that are end-to-end" check box combines objects that don’t overlap, but are end to end, such as two co-linear lines with one common endpoint. The "Combine co-linear objects that overlap" check box, also on by default, combines objects that partially overlap into one object. If you uncheck this, the command only removes duplicates of entire polylines. The "Optimize polyline segments" check box, on by default, removes duplicate line or arc segments within a polyline, or lines and arcs that overlap a polyline. You can change this to 0, to delete only objects that are exactly on top of each other. The default, 0.000001, deletes almost exact objects. The Object Difference Tolerance box determines how exact two objects must be to be considered duplicates. Uncheck this option to ensure all the duplicates are removed.
If you have "do not break polylines" checked the feature will not break native shapes such as square etc. Then from the Modify menu select Delete Duplicate Objects.Įnsure the Optimize polyline segments option is checked. Select all the objects in your drawing or just the objects you wish to combine. You may need to EXPLODE everything (might need multiple passes) until it is bare lines then use OVERKILL. Please note that if you have overlapping lines in an array or object the overkill command might not pick them up. Choose Delete Duplicate Objects from the Modify menu or type Overkill the command line.
If finding and deleting duplicates looks like a bit too much work - simply moving objects apart may be an easier/faster way to resolve doubled up lines between parts.įirst up is AutoCAD - Scroll down to see how to remove duplicate lines in Fusion, Illustrator and Inkscape.ĪutoCAD has a great feature for removing doubled up or overlapping lines. Shared cutting lines between parts will only reduce costs if you delete duplicates.
Often double lines occur where people have placed parts hard up against one another and not deleted the overlapping lines. Otherwise, the lines will literally be cut multiple times, which is not the best for your material or for the machine. For laser cutting you only want single cutting lines.
