- I'm exporting some GIS data out of my GIS and into an .AI export. It contains a roads data layer. When I do this the road centerlines as well as sides get exported and they are for the most part on top of each other. I need to be able to reduce the huge file size by eliminating the duplicates. In my lasing software there is a tool to remove overlapping lines and an offset that I can say within .1mm or whatever. Very useful. If I can do this in CorelDraw 2020 it would be much better as the file size will decrease dramatically. These are lines, not shapes. Illustrator does not do this and no plugins exist to remove them as far as I've found. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I've seen a macro for this out there.
Hi Myron, I saw one from 8 years ago but wasn't sure if CD2020 would work, I think it was x4. If you have a link or know it works that would be great.
This version works on true shapes. It even leaves the rectangles active. I guess some modifications were made to it over the years.
Why, yes, yes it does. Nice.
Also added
stat.EndProgress
To the last line before End Sub to close out the progress bar

Does that actually make the progress bar work correctly? Display it, have it update properly to show progress, and then have it disappear - all in one cycle of the macro?
I could get the progress bar to work as expected in X5, but never in X7 or newer:
VBA users: help me understand how to use the CorelDraw progress bar, AppStatus, etc.?
Tested with 150 squares X 10 duplicates = 1500total
Progress bar doesn't show at all. It happens so fast that I don't see a need for it anyway.

Not seeing something is not evidence that something was there, but so briefly that you didn't see it.
I was asking if it EVER makes the progress bar work correctly - displays it, has it update properly to show progress, and then has it disappear - all in one cycle of the macro.
Again, I've never seen it work correctly in VBA with X7 or newer - and there are macros where I would really like to have a progress bar, if the way it is done in that macro actually worked.
Sorry, I have no way of knowing if it works correctly. I just figured if I gave it a huge task it would show the progress. I can only assume that if it is not showing it at all then it isn't working correctly as you'd expect.
It's a pity, because I have some places where it would be convenient for users who turn my macros loose on "ambitious" jobs.
I don't want it badly enough to put a lot of effort into trying to create a progress bar in some other way.
