Eliminate Boundaries between polygon with same Attribute Values

Eliminate boundaries between polygon areas with the same attribute value by using symbol level drawing in ArcMap; equivalent to using the ArcPlot DROPLINE command in ArcInfo Workstation. In ArcPlot it was one command. Should be as easy as hitting a check box in the properties of a layer.

Some might say "why not just Dissolve" but as the Submitter will be aware DISSOLVE created duplicated data whereas DROPLINE was "on-the-fly" (a very valuable feature).

Yes, when first moving off of ArcInfo workstation to ArcGIS Desktop the ESRI techs kept telling me that a dissolve was equivalent to a DROPLINE. But DROPLINE is "on-the-fly." I put in an enhancement request years ago but have no idea what the status is. With Arcpy the need for this only increases!
