I was on here the other day and learned a new command that will erase lines drawn on top of other lines among other stuff.
My problem is that I thought I could remember the command, and I don't.
I hate consultant drawings.
Thanks

overkill
you probably want to audit and purge the drawing after that.
Overkill is a great routine if it gets used.
There is no indication whatsoever on the screen that will show
me that I have lines on top of lines.
I need to have the routine executed on the entire drawing whenever
I save a file.
How could I achieve it?
I'm not a lisp writer, but you might be able to get a routine that will run overkill, then purge, or any other clean-up commands that you would like to make "standard" for contractor or vendor drawings. That would give you a single "command" to run on each drawing.Originally Posted by Robert.Hall
Give people a job worth doing, the tools to do it, recognition of a job well done & get out of the way.
It could be as simple as adding:
to your startup files. I haven't tested this, and it is only an example. I would thoroughly test before using...Code:(command "undefine" "save"); undefines the save command (defun c:save (); redefines the save command to execute overkill, purge, and save. (command "-overkill" [selection; probably "a" to select all] [options]); watch the syntax (command "-purge" "a") (command "_.save") )
Someone else may have a better idea, also.
Don't forget about the -PURGE and Regapps! Regapps can increase a file size by many megabytes with a mostly empty drawing! You have to watch this especially with drawings received from an outside source. Regapps are virulent also, so if you XREF an infected file into another, all the Regapps will be dragged into the new drawing.
So, anyway, if the file size seems bid for the amount of info in the drawing do the -PURGE and choose R for Regapps and then choose * for all and verify NO. If verify is YES then you may be hitting yes to purge thousands of files... ouch.
If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Thanks everyone. Overkill is what I was looking for. I already have a routine that scrubs a drawing. I call it super crunch. It audits, deletes filters, purges 3 times, sets the save % to 0 and saves. This thing will get everything out of a drawing. The filter lisp is a holdover from 2002. I will try to get overkill to be part of this.
Thanks for the regapp info. There are a few drawings that I now think I know what is wrong with them.
