I too receive electronic data from Pro/E and Cadds 5 with duplicate elements
points and circles. The duplication geometries is caused by the
designer/cadds person(s) drawing a 2d profile and then extruding that
profile for a certian thickness.
To get rid of the points I made a simple macro as follows...
// Advanced_Wedm 11.5 Windows 10/16/98 16:48:10 Macro File
// W:\MCL\DP.mcl Delete Points
// CREATED: 01/15/00
//
// This macro deletes all points in a shape file using a filter
//
MAC_EXE[FN="W:\\MCL\\UZ"]// Ungroug & Zoom all
//
FILTER[PT=1, HL=0, LN=0, AR=0, PL=0, SP=0, EL=0, HX=0, TX=0,
PX=0, UC=0, SC=0, LY=0, ST=0, WP=0, LYS="44"]// set filter for points
only
FILTER_USE[ON=1]
GRP_FILT_ADD[]// group filter slect all points
GRP_DELETE[]
FILTER_USE[ON=0]
//
VIEW_ANGLE[A1=0, A2=0, VA=2, VP=0, RS=1, WP=0]
VIEW_ANGLE[A1=0, A2=0, VA=2, VP=0, RS=1, WP=0]
To get rid of the other duplicate geometries I'll select all data and change
it to a layer like layer 33. Then remove all selected data. Go into ISO view
F12 and select the profiles that I require by double clicking them with the
add elements to active group arrow. Once I got what I will use, I then
property change (Ctrl F1) them to a tool. Then I simply delete layer 33.
This works well "if" the electronic data is good, as in the profiles are
profiles without any breaks in them.

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Duplicate elements
Is there a way to delete all duplicate elements points and circles. We us a
lot of IGES files, the geometry is clean but on every intersection there are
two lines, circles ....
Any help is appreciated.
If anyone has a solution please e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
