Combine overlapping vectors
I have a rather complicated piece that is made up of individual objects. I have placed them together but would like to eliminate the duplicate/overlapping vectors (no need to cut it twice) and then save a .SVG file. Any ideas how to do this?

Re: Combine overlapping vectors
If they are completely overlapping then you can right click and choose Selection/Select All Duplicate Layers and then press Delete. If there are partial overlaps etc then you can try the Subtract/Overlap tools but that depends a lot on the design.
To save as SVG select all the vectors you want saved and use File/Export/SVG menu.

There is probably more than one way to achieve what you want to do, if you could post a screenshot or two it might help people make suggestions
