ArcGIS Pro 2.9: How to delete overlaps\duplicates features with model builder tool?

I couldn’t figure out if there is a model builder tool that can remove overlapped\duplicated features

I’m aware that this can be done with topology but I wanted here just a stand-alone tool that can perform this task

Find Identical (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation as a check to see what is going to happen

And if it is a cad file, it won't work, it needs to be a featureclass. Topology is best, or fix the errors during data construction would be the easiest

I got the error below

I don't think CAD file is editable in its native format in ArcGIS Desktop/Pro. Maybe you could try CAD To Geodatabase (Conversion) first.

you missed the line

Oops. Yup missed that. Maybe even Jamal did.

*why these emojis not working 😞

The issue has nothing to do with CAD file. A feature class is extracted from CAD and then the “delete identical” tool is performed as per the screenshot below

What process did you follow to "extract the feature class" from CAD?

I still see DWG with space in its name (parcel_sample_one block.dwg). The Feature Dataset, it's coming from, is a DWG file (Please check layer properties of line layer > Source).

A sample DWG polyline looks the same in attribute table.

After conversion to geodatabase, please ensure there is no space/special characters (except underscore)/accented characters in the file pathname (Full path)?

The tool attempted to modify the original input dataset and failed. This may be because the data format is a non-editable format.

If performing operations on the data is desired, convert the data to an editable format, such as geodatabase or shapefile.

That is what the error message reports as the issue

To me it looks like you're still working with the CAD file. In the model, you run the Select GP tool leading to a selected set of features called polyline. Then you attempt to run Delete Identical GP. The Delete Identical GP needs a feature class either in shapefile or GDB feature class. My suggestion is from Polyline, add the Feature Class to Feature Class GP tool here between Polygon and Delete Identical. Test the model and see if it works as expected.

Good day.

I had the same problem and solved, using RemoveOverlapmultiple. I use python instead MB. Use the option CENTER LINE.

hope this help.

The “delete identical” fails to remove the duplicates where lines are overlapped at particular part
The “remove duplicates multiple” ends up with error

A sample dwg file is attached

DanPatterson — Fri, 31 Dec 2021 19:50:28 GMT

That is because they aren't identical. And the remove overlaps requires a polygon layer.

It is in the help

Thanks for the information. I am also facing the same issue. Thanks to various reply's, i am able to solve my issue

The “LineOnLineOverlayer” tool in FME does perform the job. It removes the duplicates anyway.
