Remove Exact Duplicates

Removes duplicates with exactly the same shape from a Point, Polyline or Polygon dataset.

Inputs:

• A feature layer (Point, Polygon, Polyline)
• OPTIONAL: A  reference layer (Should have the same shape type as the input layer)

Outputs:

• New Point, Polyline or Polygon dataset (depending on the input) with no features with duplicate shapes present.  If a reference dataset is specified, all the features from the input dataset that have exactly the same shapes with a feature from the reference dataset will be excluded from the output.

Notes:

• If features with exactly the same shapes are found in the input dataset, only the first feature will be saved in the output.
• If you want to remove overlaps from partially overlapping geometries use Clean Polygon or Clean Polyline functions
