Line cleanup ?

Line cleanup ?

Line cleanup ?

(OP)
Not quite sure how to ask this, but I'm wondering if there is a way to cleanup, consolidate or remove overlapping lines.  For example a 3D Pro-e file is converted to DXF and opened in AutoCAD (v2002 here) and all lines that were on planes normal to the page still appear.  When brought into a plant layout this creates a nightmare number of objects, and is also hard to work with...  Does anyone know a way to cleanup such a situation?

thanks...

Express tool, "OVERKILL"

RE: Line cleanup ?

You can select short lines, small radius arcs etc by using the PSELECT (filter funnel icon) tool on the properties dialog box.

Autocad 2000 also has a separate FILTER command.

After preselecting them, you can erase them.
ERASE, Select Objects P (for previous) Enter.

RE: Line cleanup ?

is there any method for autocad LT97?

RE: Line cleanup ?

Can you rotate the model 90 degrees about the x-axis and erase crossing all lines above and below 0,0,0?
