Description:

 Clean Links performs various cleaning operations on Link items.

Clean Links allows you to perform operations such as deleting dangling Link items, fixing under-shoots and over-shoots and removing degenerate TopoPolygon and TopoLineString items.

To use this command:

  1. Select the Link item(s) to be cleaned.

  2. Select Clean Links, the Clean Links dialog will be displayed:

Minimum link length/tolerance

This is the length of the smallest link to leave undeleted when using the following options.

Check the Clean Links dialog tickboxes as required:

Delete all dangling Links

Should Link items that are not connected to other Link items at both ends be deleted, regardless of their length?

Fix under-shoots and over-shoots

Should small gaps be closed, and small dangling Link items be deleted?

Remove degenerate seeds

Should TopoLineString and TopoPolygon items whose Link items are all deleted be deleted too?

If you do not use this option, it can be difficult to remove the seeds later as they are difficult to snap onto. However, the disadvantage is that if you do delete them, you will also lose any data which is stored with them. This option also removes links which form splinters with other existing links, even if no seed is involved.

  1. Click OK.
