Delete Duplicates
Delete Duplicates locates objects that share the same start and end points as
well as all other points within the tolerance distance. You can delete one of
the objects.
You can include the following object types:
■ Linear objects
■ Points
■ Blocks
■ Text
■ Mtext
WARNING Do not use Delete Duplicates with polygon topology because it deletes
important topology data.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. There is no equivalent for
geospatial feature data.
■ The coordinate locations of objects and the number of vertices (i.e., object
geometry) are considered when checking for duplicates, therefore, objects
with different directions, objects of different types (for example, lines and
polylines), and objects with different properties (for example, linetype and
color) can be considered as duplicates.
■ You can choose to consider Z-value (elevation) when checking for
duplicates. For blocks, text, and mtext, you can also choose whether to
consider object rotation.
■ Objects with the same geometry, but on different layers, are considered
duplicates. Use the Select Objects page to select objects on one layer at a
time.
