Overview of Cleanup Actions
Drawing Cleanup actions can be used to detect map errors (for example,
duplicate objects, undershoots, or zero length objects), simplify complex 2D
maps, and to weed and supplement 3D polylines. Because Drawing Cleanup
can alter your data, make a backup of your data before cleaning up a map.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. There is no equivalent for
geospatial feature data.
For best results, run cleanup actions individually or with a minimum of other
actions.
The following table shows examples of problems that Drawing Cleanup can
correct.
