NAME: Find Duplicate Shapes or Records, v. 1.2 (Click Name to Download) Aka: find_dupes.avx Last modified: October 10, 2005 View Online PDF Manual (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) TOPICS: Duplicate Records Identical Overlap Same Compare Attributes AUTHOR: Jeff Jenness, GIS Analyst
DESCRIPTION: This is a fairly basic extension that allows you to identify and optionally delete duplicate records in your dataset. You can define “Duplicate” to mean either identical shapes, identical attributes, or both. Output: 1) The “Identify Duplicates” function will produce a report summarizing all the duplicate records and optionally add a field to your table identifying these records. 2) The “Delete Duplicates” function will produce a new dataset without the duplicated values, without modifying your original theme or table. 3) The “Identify Unique Values” function will produce a table listing all unique values, plus counts, of all the specified fields in a table or theme. REQUIRES: This extension requires that the file "avdlog.dll" be present in the ArcView/BIN32 directory (or $AVBIN/avdlog.dll) and that the Dialog Designer extension be located in your ArcView/ext32 directory, which they usually are if you're running AV 3.1 or better. The Dialog Designer doesn't have to be loaded; it just has to be available. If you are running AV 3.0a, you can download the appropriate files for free from ESRI at: http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=downloads.patchesServicePacks.viewPatch&PID=25&MetaID=483 Recommended Citation Format: For those who wish to cite this extension, the author recommends something similar to: Jenness, J. 2005.

Updates: Version 1.1 (March 24, 2005) adds the option to identify unique values in multiple fields, similar to the Summarize function. Version 1.21 (October 7, 2005) fixes:
