Autocad Tutorial: Use OVERKILL Command To Remove/Clean Up Overlapping Drawings – Useful When Creating Regions
If you have tried several times to create a region but still failed, chances are you have overlapping lines or curves in your drawing object. These overlaps give problem to autocad to create regions successfully. So, they must be removed first. But what if you have a drawing object that is composed of almost a hundred lines? It would be very impractical to zoom in to each line to check for overlaps.
Well, don't worry. Here comes the OVERKILL command!. Just type in "OVERKILL" and select the drawing and press enter. Your drawing should be free from overlap now and you can now start create your region. To create a region. type in 'region', select your drawing object and press enter. At this point, you should already have a region. If you fail to remove the overlaps, just set the OVERKILL command property 'fuzz' to lower value, if it says fuzz=0.0001 try set the value to fuzz=0.0000001. Then type in OVERKILL again.
