Cannot locate Clean coverage processing tool

[TDGoswami]

Hi all,

We  have the ArcGIS 9.3 Geoprocessing tools. We have built a network. We wanted to ensure that the dangle lengths and tolerances are set properly. We thought that the Clean coverage  processing tool would be helpful for use. However we are unable to locate in the Command Line, the Help Menu, and also the customized tool selection under Tools.

Please advise.

Thanks for all your help,
TD

There is no "clean" coverage processing tool in ArcGIS as now the native format is a geodatabase.

You can use "topology" to "clean" your data.

Also you may find the following article helpful:

You will find the Clean tool in:
ArcToolbox->Coverage Tools->Data Management->Topology

If you don't see the Coverage Tools toolbox, make sure you start ArcMap/Catalog with an ArcInfo license. If you still can't see it, right click ArcToolbox (at the top level or on a blank area) and select "Add Toolbox..." and browse to Catalog->Toolboxes->System Toolboxes and add the Coverage Tools toolbox.

OK, clearly not the case with rev10 -- I **do** have an ArcInfo license, and I followed your instructions, but there doesn't seem to be a Coverage Tools toolbox any more?

In some prior instances on the Forums it turned out Workstation was not installed.  No workstation, no coverage tools.  If it is installed, do you see coverage tools in ArcCatalog when looking at the System Toolboxes?  If yes but not in ArcToolbox then you may have to add them manually by using Add Toolbox.  If they don't show in ArcCatalog you might try a reinstall?
