    Default Delete duplicate entities

    We received a file from a client and it appears each entity has an identical duplicate... same x,y,z,/layer/color... We could eliminate the duplicates by erasing all via crossing then removing each entity one-by-one selection process - but that might kill my drafter.
    Any ideas on how to remove duplicate entities would be greatly appreciated.

    If they are lines, arcs, and circles; use the OVERKILL command. Just make sure PEDITACCEPT is set to 0.

    If it's blocks and such, then you're probably stuck doing it one by one.

    overkill @ command line (if express tools is loaded)

    I was looking @ active users and thought I would be too late.
