Removing duplicate lines

Post by grindergary »

Finally getting time to work on some drawings.

I have a trace that I did and it has lots of double and sometimes triple lines. I was wondering if there is a quicker way to delete the lines without having to use the mouse buttons.

I click on the line, then delete it by going to the pop up menu. Then click delete and carry on. The problem is having to do this over and over.

Is there a short cut so I do not have to keep working this way.

Thanks in advance,

I am by no means a corel draw pro. If i have a lot of lines to delete I just click on the line(s) with the mouse in one hand and just hit the delete button on the keyboard with the other. I also use the shift key and click on a bunch of lines and delete all at once. I am sure some of the other more knowledgeable people on here can help better.

Hold down the shift key and click on each line one by one, once all of the lines are selected that you want to keep, hit the CUT icon and it will cut them from the drawing. Then press CTRL+A to select everything else that is left. Then press delete to delete them.

Once everything is deleted, just paste the image back to the drawing that you cut earlier. Now you only have one line and no duplicates.
