: Efficient methods to clean up vector art I have this artwork I was sent for a product and I need to clean up the lines and all these overlapping lines. I can't get the client to go back
I have this artwork I was sent for a product and I need to clean up the lines and all these overlapping lines.
I can't get the client to go back to the designer for new art so I'm stuck with what I've got which is a lovely Compound Path.
Manually I COULD go through, delete points, rejoin open paths, and go on for an eternity but I'm looking for methods that would be quicker.
Here's what I'm working with.
The end product will be colored to several pallets and then printed, and made into products etc.
I'm looking for NON-PLUGIN alternative methods. I know Astute Graphics has some wonderful tools but I'm looking for cost-effective methods.

if you don't need stroke to edit means just shape based object , just expand all your strokes by selecting all artwork and going to object > expand.
after that you can use shape builder tool.
like images,i have attached.you can drag over shape to join them in single shape hold alt to remove extra shapes
As Scott mentioned Doing it manually would produce the best results, it would also take a while.
Doing it manually
You could potentially use the path eraser tool and/or the direct selection tool to select and manually move each and every anchor point
If you want it to go faster you would need to use a plugin. I know you said you were looking for a cheaper way, however:
Time = Money
Note: Astute Graphics usually offers a free 14 day trial for their plugins so you can try them out.
