Delete overlapping blocks with different attributes

Anonymous
Not applicable

We have situations where two instances of the same block exist in the same location, with one overlapping the other, and need to delete one of the blocks in each of these occurences.  The Overkill command won't work because the blocks have different attributes.  Does anyone know a solution to look for and delete all but one copies of a specific block, when one or more exist in the same location, with or without the same attributes?

 

The attached file has 1 block at the top and 2 blocks (with different attributes) colocated at the bottom.

 

Thanks,

 

Jon

I tried OVERKILL with tolerance of 1 and worked good.

Thanks for the reply.  OVERKILL seems to work intermittently.  When zoomed out, a Tolerance value of 0.5 or higher works.  When zoomed in, even a Tolerance of 10 sometimes doesn't work.  If the OVERKILL attempt doesn't work, zooming out and trying it again also fails unless a REGENALL is performed.

 

Thanks,

 

Jon
