This reduces the size of the locator and removes excessive tied candidates from geocoding results. This ID field must be mapped to a Feature ID field from the locator role, such as POINT_ADDRESS_ID. To remove duplicate geometries, the primary reference data should contain a field with an ID that connects the duplicate features with the same location. However, if duplicate features exist in the reference data, alternate values can be created and duplicate geometries will be excluded when the locator is built with the Create Locator tool. The recommended method for creating a locator that supports alternate names for features is to add the alternate values to a table and use an alternate name table role that corresponds to the primary locator role. This is illustrated in the data below, in which 12725 Yosemite Blvd, Waterford and 12725 CA-132, Waterford have the same geometry but different values in the FullStreetName field. eps works best.Reference data can be formatted to contain duplicate features that represent the same location, but with different attributes, as a way of creating a locator that supports alternate names. But you might want to try other types to send to ArtCam. You will see the offending areas where the path intersected itself as they will light up in the color of the layer they're on. Object-Lock-Selection.Ĩ-Now, here's the magic part. Object-Ungroupħ-Select the path you want to keep and lock it. This will split the Compound Path in indivual Paths.Ħ-Ungroup if all paths are grouped.

Might have been a Compound path already, but do this step anyway.Thrust me.ĥ-Select said Compound Path and Object-Compound Path-Release. Select both path andĮffect-Pathfinder-Add.

The 'Loop' might be a few Thou big, you'll never find it, even going over the entire path at maximum zoom.Ĥ-Create a rectangle inside the offending path.

That does't mean you're out of the woods yet. Using the white selection tool, Drag select the points where the opening is and: Objet-Path-join. You will see where it is open where both new paths have a perpendicular line connecting to the points where the opening is.ģ-To correct this, undo 'till your back the original path only. If a new path is create outside and inside, the path is open. If only one new path is created on the outside, the path is closed. This will show you if the path is open (which might be the reason for the error). Here's what I usually do to fix this problem:Ģ-Select the offending path and offset to the outside by 1/8' or so.
