CARIS HPD Source Editor
Menu | Tools > Reports > Duplicate Points |
Find point features that are the same or similar on one or more usages. You can:
• Search on the current usage
• Compare with another usage
• Match geometry
• Search within a specified tolerance
• Find features with the same or different attributes.
Representations of features on other usages are not included in the search criteria. This command finds features on other usages that are identical but not considered representations.
The search for duplicates is performed only on features inside the workspace. If you temporarily extend the workspace extent, the command will detect duplicate features in the extension.
