When you encounter overlapping line segments in CAD software, you may want to delete them. While it may seem a bit complicated at first, it's actually not that difficult to remove overlapping segments. Here are some simple steps to help you with this task: Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, these steps should be able to help you.
1.Select overlapping segments: First, click on the Selection tool with the mouse tool (usually the arrow icon), and then select or marquee the overlapping segments in the drawing area so they are selected. You may need to zoom the drawing area to more accurately select overlapping segments.
2.Confirm segment attributes: With overlapping segments selected, review the properties in the attribute editor or command line to make sure they have the same layer, color, and line type. This is very important because you can only delete segments with the same properties at the same time.
3.To use the trim command: Enter the trim command (you can enter it directly from the command line) and press enter to activate the trim command. Next, hold down the "Enter" key on your keyboard, select the overlapping segments you want to trim, and press Enter again.
4.Delete Overlap: With the Trim command active, move the mouse over the intersection between the overlapping segments, and then click the left mouse button to delete the overlapping parts. Repeat this step until all overlaps are removed.
5.Exit the trim command: When you're done trimming, press the "Enter" key on your keyboard or enter the "exit" command to exit the trim command.
With the above steps, you can easily remove overlapping line segments in CAD software. However, be careful not to delete other segments by mistake. If possible, it is advisable to back up your files before the operation in case something unexpected happens. Hope these colloquial steps help you!
