When making drawings, we often end up making reference geometries that overlap other geometries. Sometimes, we also end up making geometries with several segments that can be made with just one segment. For these kinds of drawings, the OVERKILL tool can be used. This tool cleans all overlapping objects from the drawing and merges broken segments into one.

To use this tool, type OVERKILL on the command line and press Enter; the command will start. Now, select all the objects from the drawing area that you want to clean and press the Enter key. The Delete Duplicate Objects window will now pop up, as shown in Figure 9.59; don't change any setting in this window. Simply click OK, and the OVERKILL command will clean the drawing for you:

Now that you know how to clean drawings by getting rid of known issues, it's time to look at tools that help you clean and fix drawings by removing unknown issues.
