Howdy! I'm a long time lurker, and I have learned so much from you folks! (And yes, you can tell by my accent, I'm from Tennessee, I gave it away.) Most of the questions I've had, I have been able to search the archives and find answers.
This time, however, I am stumped. Maybe I don't know the right keywords.
A customer brought me some DXF plans, five files' worth. He wants pricing on cutting it out of wood. The cutting part won't take long, but fixing the file will. I could see that there were multiple lines because some lines were thicker.
I wrote notes on the CDR attachments, but I'll explain here, too.
When I select one of the thicker lines and delete it, it's gone. So I knew there wasn't a second line below it. Then I tried Ctrl-K, to break apart the curve. Wow, some of the lines had 23 copies! So I would hold Ctrl, de-select one of the lines, then hit the Delete key to erase the other 22. This will take a lot of time to clean up like this.
Do you know of an easier way to remove these excess curves? I tried selecting several objects then breaking the curves apart, but it won't let me. I tried a macro, but I think some of the actions aren't able to translate to it.
I thought I would ask for your help, not only for me, but maybe someone reading this later can benefit.
I attached it as Ver 10 and 13. I engrave with a different computer, and I don't have the ULS color palette loaded on this one, so the colors may not be accurate.
Thanks a bunch!
