I'm user of a laser cutting machine. After drawing the parts, I join and trim lines to make the machine path the shorter possible. So this is what I used to do on autoCAD to remove overlapping lines:
copy shapes, join them by snapping, trim the overlapped lines, make new single lines, join all the borders.
on LibreCAD I can't reproduce this workflow, so the best I could do was to explode all and then erase the overlapped lines. But depending on the polygons I'm working on , the explode of everything could be a mess to work with.

So my question is:
Is this the best way to do this on libreCAD?





thanks

EDIT:
Here you can see a real work comparison with these two methods to understand the difference:
