How to select a single object in a stack of them?

[Ed Lang]

I have found duplicate lines stacked on top of each other and all the same color in a .cdr file.

How can I select say the top one only if there are a more than one as well as the ones that don't have stacked lines? I want to end up with a .cdr file with only a single line.

OR- how to I search for this answer and I'll go looking for it.

ED, do a search on the creek for "extra lines" there is some info there.

Ed, don't they show up as individual objects in your object manager?

Select the objects and group them, CTRL-G, then ungroup them, CTRL-U. This will put them all in the same location in Object Manager. Then just select the one you want to delete and "delete".

Ed,

I usually "nudge" one line, select the rest and delete them. Then "nudge" the line back to it's position, then go on from there. I'm sure there has to be an easier way~just not sure if I could learn it, what being an old dog/new tricks thing! :D :D
