"Detect duplicates" just for a selected area ...

Post by Husky » Thu Dec 05, 2013 11:03 pm

I like to use "Detect duplicates" only for a chosen selection - not for the whole drawing. How can I do that? My test doesn't works .... :oops:

Yes , I think that we need an option to detect duplicates on either the whole drawing or only selected area. For now though a workaround :
1.Make selection area of entities.
2.Place these on a temporary layer, using the property editor.
3.Make this temporary layer the only visible layer and now detect duplicates, making sure that you leave the 'Ignore layer' unchecked!

For the best support please state your operating system, QCAD version and add any supporting DXF/DWG files, screenshots etc...
