Hello people.
Lately I am asking myself something that can improve LC, so the feature that I have in mind may result totally useless to someone or essential to some other people.
I have notice that sometime (especially when we create complex drawings) may happen that we do not notice that we created a line between 2 points twice or 3 times on the same layer -and we did that many times on our drawing-, so I thought that could be a good feature something that delete the double lines.
The aim would be keep the size of our file as smaller as possible and keep our drawing clear.
Example 1: layer 0, we create a line from (0;0) to (0;10) more than once.
Example 2: when we need to explode a hatch (for many reasons), a contour will be created, and if you are working on a big drawing it can burden the file size.
I don't know how to call this function/plugin/feature, maybe in edit bar we can add "DELETE DOUBLE LINES IN THE SAME LAYER" function... anyway I hope you understood what I mean...
Jut let me knowwhat you think
Best regards
Cla
