The following content offers information pertaining to known issues.
Line Actions
- When using the Delete Duplicates action, MultiLineStrings may get changed to LineStrings before deleting.
- The Suggest option is not available when setting tolerances for the Simplify Objects and Weed Polylines actions.
Polygon Actions
- The Sliver Polygon Removal action performs the Re-form Polygons action on all selected polygons whether slivers are found or not.
- Split Rules apply for all features affected by the Sliver Polygon Removal action.
- Sliver Polygon Removal and Re-form Polygons convert all polygons within a MultiPolygon to polygons.
- When using the Sliver Polygon Removal action, properties may not be correct when output to a new SDF or SHP file is specified.
- When using the Re-form Polygons action, properties are lost when output to a new SDF or SHP file is specified.
Interactive Clean Up
- If no errors are found, the Map Clean Up Errors dialog box will not display.
- You must Fix or Remove errors during the Interactive Clean Up process in order to continue to the next action. If you Mark or Mark All for a given action, errors will be marked for that action, and you will not be able to advance to the next action.
- The following actions are not available in Interactive mode. If any of these actions are selected, the interactive mode is disabled:
- Simplify Objects
- Weed Polylines
- Sliver Polygon Removal
- Re-form Polygons
Performance
- Cleaning Layers for very large data sets can take a long time. When cleaning Layers, use a smaller selection set or select a feature class instead.
Note: Cleaning of a feature class cleans the data source directly, and cleaned objects may not be visible in your map.
Undo
- Undo does not work for Delete Duplicates or Correct Duplicate Points actions.
Other
- Geospatial Clean Up operations cannot be performed on Industry Model features.
- When the 3D Detection option is enabled, the Z value is not recognized for all actions except Break Crossing.
