Design File Cleanup dialog box

Used to identify duplicate elements, overlapping elements and/or gaps between elements in the active design file.

• Duplicate — two elements of the same type that share the same location and geometry.

• Overlap — two elements that partially overlap one another.

• Gap — when an element has an endpoint too far from another element.

Cleanup actions are performed via the Design File Cleanup dialog box. You can set the desired cleanup action(s) from the dialog box´s General tab, or you can go to each cleanup action´s individual tab and set the cleanup action as well as further restrict or expand the search criteria.

Some cleanup actions can be performed simultaneously. For example, you can instruct Design File Cleanup to select all Duplicates and flag all Overlaps at the same time. When running Interactive mode, no other cleanup actions can be performed.

Results of cleanup actions are displayed in the # Found section on the Design File Cleanup dialog box´s General tab, as well as in MicroStation´s status bar.
