    Default Comand to eliminate useless lines

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I can't remember the command to get rid on lines on top of lines. what i mean is i want to erase all but one line that are on top of each other. I have a drawing which is 20mb when it should be 1mb max, but it seems that the drawing is layered on top of its self 30+ times and zeroz so that I can not take them off from a different angle. any help would be appreciated.

    thank you,

    hydro

    you're not deleting information that somebody else working on the drawing may need are you?

    Tiger - is OVERKILL the command that joins lines up if somebody has been lazy enough to draw little bits on instead of EXTENDing?

    OVERKILL cleans up the drawing removing n joining lines pline etc on top of each other
