Remove overlap for lines

[ArnoudDrevijn]

Hello,

I've got a file with polylines that partially overlap. I want to remove the overlap while taking into account that one subset of the lines is more important than the other. What I want to achieve is functionality like the "clip" function from the editor menu. Unfortunately this doesn't work on an entire file but just on individual objects.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks,

Hello,

Solved my problem 🙂

The solution was:
-merge the 2 line files.
-Buffer the result (end type flat).
-Use Intersect (analyses) to intersect my target line file and the buffer result. By doing this the lines are split at the border of the polygon
-the overlap can be selected and deleted (select by location)
-the remaining parts merged based on the id to reconstruct the lines.
