Step 1: Selecting and Anchoring Objects

Start by selecting the objects to include in the cleanup. You can automatically

select all objects or select objects manually.

You also select the objects to anchor. Anchored objects are reference points

and are not altered or moved; objects being cleaned are moved towards

anchored objects.

In addition, you can filter object selection by layer and object class so that

only objects that belong to the specified layers and object classes are selected.

Example: Select all objects on the Roads layer for cleanup, and anchor survey

points in the Monuments object class so that they maintain their accuracy.

NOTE In general, you can clean up linear objects only (lines, arcs, circles, and

polylines), although a few cleanup actions support additional object types, including

points, blocks, text, and mtext. Anchoring supports these additional object types.

Any unsupported object types are not cleaned up or anchored.

NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. There is no equivalent for

geospatial feature data.
