DWG Import - Lines on Top of Lines

I've imported a DWG and there are MULTIPLE lines on top of each other on the same layer. IS there a function in DCAD22 that can clean up these lines?

There is a delete double command under the 3dMenu, Hide, Options. Then run the hide command on the area. Should work.

Hi,
I have often wondered about this. At times, I simply go through and delete the line, refresh, repeat. Annoying at best. I just tried using the delete double command, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for the response Roger, but I tried this "delete" double command" several times and I just couldn't get it to work.

Did you have "Save Image" selected and saved to a new layer.
If that didn't work, then the lines must not be exactly the same.

Hide does work to remove duplicated lines, using Save Image as Roger pointed out.

I used these settings, in Options with F2 Delete Dbl. & F3 Ignore Color, and Hide F3 Save Image & S5 Active ON, you can get a new layer with duplicated lines removed, and even shorter lines with the same or different Z settings under longer lines get removed.
