OVERKILL not working...

[kameron1967]

Hi guys,

I am testing Overkill on Autocad 2010. I gave it fuzz distance of 0 and sometimes 0.1. Either way, it tells me it's deleted X number of entities, but when I check the count, it hasn't deleted anything.

Anyone has a routine to work around this?  I'm looking for ones that remove duplicate lines/arcs when they are on the same layer.  Thanks in advance. 🙂

If you can upload a drawing to show the problem that will be great.

Sometimes it is the drawing itself instead of routine has some issues to deal with.

Have a look into this topic... Maybe you'll find answer in those posts, else I agree with 3wood and upload your DWG...

Here is the file.  Please test it and let me know if it's working for you and what autocad version you are using.

Henrique, in AutoCAD2010 OVERKILL is an Express Tools command.

True!

I don'd have AC2010 at the moment, if anyone else step in, later on I'll try it with AC2010...

Hi Henrique. Yes, I thought 2014 version might have a working OVERKILL command. Thanks for posting the results for me to see. 🙂

Thanks for the links, Marko_ribar. They were helpful.

You're welcome, Kameron
Glad you got a solution.

If you have attached any image in the drawing overkill will not work. Try creating a new file and crtl-copy the elements you are interested to, and PASTEORIG these entities. Execute the OVERKILL command in the new file (it will work) and copy back with PASTEORIG in the old file.  You may lose some dimension alineations.
