Can't use OVERKILL, it doesnt delete overlapping lines

Anonymous
Not applicable

I recently have this problem when i exported my .skp to .dwg file, it has so many overlapping lines but when i do the OVERKILL command it just wont work.

Ive tried to do anything mentioned in this forum, such as exploding it, using FLATTEN command, modify the tolerance, etc. but it just won't work. 

Ive attached my .dwg file down below, please analyze it and let me know if i do something wrong

Thanks before

Hi,

 

>> Ive attached my .dwg file down below, please analyze it

Please, be so kind and tell us where we have to look for the doubled lines. Your drawing contains 20000 lines and I don't have the time to analyze such a mass of lines to find the doubled ones you are referring to.

Just as additional note:

 

starting _OVERKILL with the settings shown in the following screenshot deleted 14000 objects ...

Check the attached dwg & see if this is what you are looking for

see attached png for overkill settings

I used recover to open the file (no errors)

I used pedit using multiple option, and converted lines & arc segments to polylines

Then used overkill with the settings shown

then ran audit & purge before saving/closing

Hope this helps
