Overlapping geometry is often the result of copying or creating objects on top of each other, and can affect the way your drawing looks, prints, and even potentially lead to mistakes when working in the drawing. AutoCAD has cleanup tools such as PURGE and OVERKILL that remove unused or duplicate items from a drawing and help keep your drawing file clean from clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/ACD\/2022\/ENU\/?contextId=HYT_Blog_Feb_2022_Purge_Overkill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In this Have You Tried<\/a>, we&#8217;ll go over how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Purge unused items<\/li><li>Find non-purgeable items<\/li><li>Delete duplicate and overlapping objects<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn how to keep your drawing files tidy using the Purge and Overkill features, with the step-by-step examples in the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/ACD\/2022\/ENU\/?contextId=HYT_Blog_Feb_2022_Purge_Overkill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Have You Tried: Purge and Overkill<\/a> topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/02\/22\/Article-53-1.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1155\" data-lbwps-height=\"650\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/02\/22\/Article-53-1-300x169.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/02\/22\/Article-53-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Have You Tried AutoCAD Purge\" class=\"wp-image-12326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/02\/22\/Article-53-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/02\/22\/Article-53-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/02\/22\/Article-53-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/02\/22\/Article-53-1.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"keep-the-feedback-coming\">Keep the Feedback Coming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for all the great feedback submitted so far.
