The tool can be found and activated through the customization button on the status bar.<\/p>\n<p>When you have the selection tool activated, select a line in your drawing.<\/p>\n<p>If there are multiple lines overlapping a selection box will appear on your screen. This will allow you to cycle between each line with ease. This gives you the option to select, manipulate or delete any of the lines.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/05\/okill2a.jpg\" width=\"270\" height=\"192\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-236761 alignnone size-full\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/05\/okill1a.jpg\" width=\"398\" height=\"315\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-236762 alignnone size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/05\/okill1a.jpg 398w, https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/05\/okill1a-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the OVERKILL command is to delete any redundant, overlapping lines quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of going through every line in your drawing to determine where lines are overlapping, you can enter the command OVERKILL. Once you have selected the command, type \u201call\u201d and hit ENTER. This will select all elements within your drawing. If you then press ENTER again, it will give you an options dialogue box for what type of properties you wish to remove, or which type of properties you wish to ignore. By clicking OK, it will automatically remove all overlapping lines and shapes within your drawing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/05\/okill3a.jpg\" width=\"209\" height=\"161\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-236764 alignnone size-large\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/05\/okill4.jpg\" width=\"476\" height=\"538\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-236763 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/05\/okill4.jpg 476w, https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/05\/okill4-265x300.jpg 265w, https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/05\/okill4-300x339.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 476px) 100vw, 476px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span>There are several other features of the OVERKILL command, which we will explore further in future posts.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OVERKILL\u00a0and\u00a0SELECTION CYCLE When you have overlapping lines in your drawings, the process of checking each element can be tedious and time consuming.
