Drawing Cleanup

Drawing cleanup helps you improve the accuracy of your maps, correct common map errors (resulting from surveying, digitizing, scanning errors, for example), and remove unnecessary detail from complex maps. This is essential when you need accurate and complete maps suitable for defining topologies, performing map analyses, or plotting and presentations.

Drawing Cleanup is a sequence of pages that guide you through specifying the set of objects to include in a drawing cleanup operation, the objects to anchor, the cleanup actions to perform and the settings to use, how to treat the objects after cleanup, and the error marker settings (for interactive mode only).

Drawing Cleanup includes the following pages:

• Select Objects
• Select Actions
• Cleanup Methods
• Error Markers

Note: Do not use Drawing Cleanup to correct topologies; you might make a topology invalid and not be able to recreate it. To edit topologies, use the topology editing commands.
