Is there a way to check for duplicate sketch entities?

[cygnas]

Is there a way to check for duplicate sketch entities? I have a sketch that for some reason has 2 sets of identical lines on top of each other. I can go through and highlight each line and hit the delete button and there is another identical sketch there. I thought there was something said in the training classes that I had about being able to "Check for & Delete all duplicate sketch entities".

Thanks in advance

"Tools/Sketch Tools/ Check Sketch for Feature"

Select the feature type you are creating and go.
It should highlight the problem area.

Thanks for the suggestion but I did try that. It checks the sketch and reports that there is 1 closed contour and no errors. However, there was still 2 identical sketches overlapping each other. I went through and clicked each entity and hit the delete button for each one until I went through the entire sketch. Now if I delete a line there is nothing left.

I thought that tool would hightlight the offending area, but memory's fuzzy.

The Check sketch for feature tool does highlight the offending entity ... but only one at a time. You have to re-rerun the tool to find the next offender.

The Repair Sketch tool actually removes offending entities and joins split lines into one ... and usually in one run ... usually.
