When to Use OVERKILL:
- Cleaning up imported drawings: External drawings often contain redundant lines and overlaps. Removing redundant geometry can help prevent errors in operations like hatching, trimming, or filleting.
- Preparing drawings for plotting or sharing: Ensure clean and efficient output. When you have duplicated or very closely spaced objects, the command can help clean up and retain only the necessary geometry.
- Optimizing file size and performance: Redundant geometry can slow down AutoCAD. It’s particularly useful for optimizing drawings, especially when importing or combining elements from different sources, reducing file size and improving drawing performance.
Enhancing drawing accuracy: Remove potential sources of errors in calculations and measurements.
