Imported sketch has to many lines

Simon Goderis Sep 2, 2017 11:17 AM

Hi everyone, when i import a 2D dwg, often it happens(not always) that one visual line contains 3 or 4 enteties over each other. This makes the drawing 3 to 4 times as large and often impossible to scale. Is there a way to delete the doubles or simply unify?

Thanks in advance

Can you ask the source to not create duplicate lines.

It has been 10yrs or so since I last used AutoCAD, but I think there was a command "overkill" or "flatten" to remove duplicate lines.

Hi Simon,

Not sure about altering the the actual sketch itself without it being a manual process, but you could try extruding (solids if closed or surfaces if not) and then creating a new sketch and converting entities?
