 Is there a way to use the delete duplicates tool without MS deleting every duplicated element? 
 An example would be if i had 5 lines of the same length on top of each other. I want delete duplicates to delete 4 of the 5 leaving me with just one</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Data Cleanup - Deleting Duplicates</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/401134?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2017 10:54:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e0c18808-ecaa-4b92-9593-1eb5ead66276</guid><dc:creator>Josh WHEALY</dc:creator><description>Maybe this will help, I&amp;#39;m not sure why its not working like I want it to.&lt;br /&gt;

You can test your results with this command by using select instead of delete, then moving the selection set out of the way.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Data Cleanup - Deleting Duplicates</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/401056?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Feb 2017 20:32:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d6980824-f735-4af5-b9d4-49d1b8f080ac</guid><dc:creator>George A. Martin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/Compare.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;So you have M-Sta. &amp;quot;Selecting&amp;quot; (not Deleting) the Duplicate elements (under &amp;quot;Cleanup Actions&amp;quot;) that it finds! Then You decide what to do with the Duplicate Elements (i.e. Delete, Move, ???). M-Sta. would not be (Selecting) changing the original element, just the duplicates it finds in View 1 (Process View 1). If levels are off in View 1 it will not find them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Duplicates tab will tell M-Sta. what Element Types to compare, and what attributes to compare/Match (i.e. same Level, Color, Weight, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve attached a sample dgn and screen shots of my cleanup tool window settings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The line work you see is from a dwg that has been merged.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My question following your reply is what defines an element as &amp;#39;the original&amp;#39;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I tested it myself just before I wrote this. I don&amp;#39;t know why your utility seems to be behaving differently. Could you possibly share a sample file or perhaps a screenshot of your Data Cleanup settings?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
