Command line enter OVERKILL or OVERK
Removes duplicate or overlapping lines, arcs, and polylines. Also, combines those that are partially overlapping or contiguous.
The following changes are made to geometric objects in the drawing area or the block editor:
- Duplicate copies of objects are deleted
- Arcs drawn over portions of circles are deleted
- Lines at the same angle that partially overlap are combined into a single line
- Duplicate line or arc segments are deleted
- Overlapping and zero-length polyline segments are deleted

The following prompts are displayed.
Select objects #
Specifies the objects that you want to modify.
Ignore #
Ignores one or more of the following properties during object comparison.
Color
LAyer
Ltype
LWeight
plotStyle
Tolerance
Defines the value within which OVERKILL makes numeric comparisons for determining object duplication.
Optimize polylines #
- Segment width. Ignores polyline segment width
- Break polyline. Maintains polylines when optimizing polyline segments
- Yes. Enabled by default. Honors polylines as discreet objects and deletes non-polyline objects that overlap polylines.
- No. Forces OVERKILL to examine polyline segments individually. Polyline segments may be deleted as duplicates of non-polyline objects.
Combine Partial Overlap #
Overlapping objects area combined into single objects.
Combine End to End #
Objects that have common endpoints are combined into single objects.
Associativity #
Associative objects are not deleted or modified.
