Any way to find "colinear" curves

Hey guys,

Is there any way to find “colinear” curves? Seldup would pick identical curves that are over each other, but is there any way to find curves that merely lay over each other that are not visible to the “naked eye”? For example, let’s say you have a 8’ long line, and there are a couple of smaller lines laying over it. Would there be any way to run a command/ script and highlight them?

Thanking you in advance…

You can try this cheap hack out… It creates a highlighted curve grouped with two points where there are overlaps. You will need to delete those afterwards, but it will tell you where the overlaps are. May be slow with lots of curves.
