Axiom Releases a New Version of Duplicate Element Remover for MicroStation V7
Axiom announces the release of a new version of Duplicate Element Remover, the MicroStation V7 utility that handles the problems of slow processing time and operational difficulties due to the presence of duplicate and near duplicate elements. Many users run Duplicate Element Remover in batch mode on completed project files in order to deliver a cleaned-up package or before archiving files. In addition to batch processing, users can interactively find and handle duplicate elements in a file or in a fenced area of a file that may be causing problems.
Among Duplicate Element Remover's options are settings for locating and removing near duplicates, such as elements with slightly different vertices and small overlapped elements. More advanced settings control how closely elements have to match before they are considered duplicates and which element types, weights and styles should be considered for removal.
The new features for Duplicate Element Remover include:
• A settings category for ignoring elements during processing based on level, color, weight and style. These options give the user more control of the removal of elements.
• A revamped "Settings" dialog box, that includes explanations of each settings category, as well as, more intuitive grouping of settings options based on customer feedback.
• The ability to bypass read-only and unsupported files, such as V8 files, during batch processing of design files. This feature increases the speed and accuracy of batch runs.
