Use this dialog box to select the cleanup actions to perform and the parameters to use. Specify whether to review errors in Interactive mode or have AutoCAD Map 3D automatically correct errors.
You can perform multiple cleanup actions simultaneously, but it is better to perform only a few at a time so you can track changes. Run the Simplify Objects and Weed Polylines actions by themselves—not with other actions.
Select a cleanup action and click Add to add it to the Selected Actions list.
For more information about each cleanup action, click one of the following links:
Add selected actions to the Selected Actions list.
Remove selected actions from the Selected Actions list.
Actions are performed in the order they appear in the list. If you include Simplify Objects and Weed Polylines with other cleanup actions, AutoCAD Map 3D automatically performs Simplify and Weed first, regardless of their position.
Move the selected action up one position in the list.
Move the selected action down one position in the list.
Select an action in the Selected Actions list to set its parameters. Each action has its own set of parameters. Some cleanup actions have none.
Specify the radial search distance for locating geometric errors. Enter a value or click Pick to specify a distance in the drawing area.
For example, if you set the tolerance to 5 units, two nodes within 10 units of each other are within the tolerance and will be corrected.
Include rotation in the Delete Duplicates calculation for Blocks, Text, or Mtext.
Include z-values (elevation) in the Delete Duplicates calculation.
Break target linear objects at the intersections during the Extend Undershoots operation.
For Snap Clustered Nodes, snap to an existing node.
For Snap Clustered Nodes, snap to an existing link endpoint.
Allow the introduction of arcs during the Simplify Objects operation.
For Weed Polylines, enter a value or click Pick to select two locations in the drawing. Weeding Factors reduce the number of points generated along 3D polylines. A larger distance and deflection angle weeds a greater number of points. The distance is measured in linear units and must be smaller than the Supplemental Distance.
For Weed Polylines, enter the deflection angle, or click Pick to select a starting point, a vertex, and an ending point in the drawing. A larger distance and deflection angle weeds a greater number of points. The angle factor is measured in angular units.
For Weed Polylines, enter the maximum distance between vertices. If the distance between vertices on a contour is greater, points are added along the contour at equal intervals that are less than or equal to the Supplemental Distance. The smaller the distance, the greater the number of supplemented points.
For Weed Polylines, enter a value, or click Pick to specify it in the drawing. Bulge adds vertices to a polyline curve, creating an approximation of the curve using straight line segments. Bulge is a ratio of the distance from the arc to the chord divided by half the length of the chord.
Review errors and decide how to handle them. For example, you can correct the errors, place marker blocks on them, or ignore them.
Have AutoCAD Map 3D correct errors automatically. AutoCAD Map 3D corrects Simplify Objects and Weed Polylines errors automatically, no matter what you specify.
