every item in this CAD drawing has been duplicated. I worked on it last week and it was fine. My co-worker made some changes earlier this week and somehow fucked it all up. So you might thing, just go delete the duplicates? There are over 30,000 lines, arcs, and other things. fuck.

that’s what daily backups are for.

cant you just role back to a previous date.

Co-workers accidentally selecting massive quantities of lines, copy-pasting them, and making the whole drawing a stew of line spaghetti? THAT IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE EVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE

this office isn’t that sophisticated.

Almost no chance. In circumstances such as he describes, usually it’s a copy-paste gone horribly wrong. Anything from duplicate lines within an inch of one another to a massive dump of things that *just* slightly overlaps, and anything in between.

In GIS you can search for and delete duplicate/coincident lines based on topology rules. Are there no such tools in your CAD environment?

In my office we’d have a previous rev, if that - but maybe an auto-generated .bak, though when it creates them isn’t very trustworthy.. Combine that with 2013's penchant for turning off its own autosave...

i’d still have to delete like 15,000 items.

As an InfoSec Analyst, this made me really sad. Ransomware is a thing, among others.

That was my thought, Snapshot.

Daily nothing, our system is backed up every hour, because people mess stuff up all the time.

I once worked with an engineer who deleted an entire design project by accident. The CAD guy spent all day pulling it back from snapshot. Then he pried the delete key off of the engineer’s keyboard.

I went to the tapes once when 3 months worth of python scripts were wiped- it took less time to rewrite the code than sort through our backups and figure out what was there..

type “OVERKILL”

Finish

OVERKILL will delete any duplicate lines that are stacked on the same z-access. If the co-worker copied the whole file multiple times, than this will fix it literally in one command.

Is it a building? I’m amazed that some people still use AutoCAD for anything else. Such a frustrating program.

i’ve never heard of that. sounds like it could work. I’ll let the other guy try it. I’m not messing with his fuckups

yep. its the renovation of a nursing home. A lot of smaller projects still use AutoCAD

I’m an ME, though, and we still have some old 2D part drawings in AutoCAD, which makes revisions completely ridiculous. At my internship, pretty much everything was like that. Not that SolidWorks is without its own share of problems, but still...

Indeed... like a poor performance on surface files. Which is why I’m on Oppo instead of working in the Expedition data that’s trying to save.

Doesn’t help that Ford tends to send some janky data.
