Tools/Sketch Tools/Repair Sketch is the function you need to use right
after importing a sketch.
It will do exactly what you want.
If you still have superimposed segments, then they're aren't perfectly
superimposed (not the same endpoints) and no macro can solve this.
If so, you might try to select chains of segments and copy them to
another sketch, or "use" them from a different sketch.

Also, if I remember - autocad the an 'express tools' menu that has a
'delete duplicate items' which does contain a 'fuzz' factor. The
routine works very well.

In those cases, I simply import the dwg as the first sketch, and start
another sketch that uses the first's geometry.
Hope i'm clear enough.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to AutoCAD, I use
DWGEditor/Intellicad at present. I had found a LISP gizmo that was to
have deleted these segments, but it's a compiled format and doesn't
work properly with DWGEditor/Intellicad.

Thanks to all who responded, particularly Phillippe!

some of the oem 2D geometry can be quite complex and could involve many
hours to recreate. yes, i concur. easier said than done. ;)
