Removing overlapping lines in AutoCAD is a common requirement because overlapping lines not only cause printing problems, but can also affect the accuracy of the drawing. AutoCAD provides several ways to identify and remove these overlapping lines:
Use the SelectSimilar command to select all objects that have similar attributes to the currently selected object. First, select a line that you think might overlap and enterselectsimilar, AutoCAD selects all similar lines. At this point, you can manually check the lines to see if they overlap and remove the lines you don't need.
AutoCAD's Overkill command is a very useful tool designed to remove overlapping lines and simplify drawings. Enter on the command lineoverkilland select the area of the object you want to inspect. The command will open a dialog box that lets you choose the criteria for optimization and removal, such as overlapping lines, duplicate objects, and so on. After adjusting the settings, tap "OK" to start the cleanup process. This command automatically identifies and removes overlapping lines, as well as merging adjacent lines and polygons.
If you don't have many overlapping lines, you can also choose to delete them manually. Use the Select tool to click on the line, then use the delete key to delete it manually. This method is simple, but it can be time-consuming when dealing with a large number of overlapping lines.
If overlapping lines are on different layers, you can use the Layiso command to isolate them first, and then more easily identify and delete overlapping lines. After quarantine, reuse the above method for deletion.

These methods can help you effectively clean up overlapping lines in AutoCAD drawings and improve the clarity and accuracy of your drawings.
