We have recently just had a large problem in our office, when objects in a floor plan were duplicated several times (usually unknowingly) over each other, requiring us to go through the whole floor and delete every wall, symbol, text object etc. which is on top of another.
This problem actually occurs previously often, but this is the first time it has happened to us on a large scale.
Our duplication is set to not offset, so that we can transfer like walls and other objects between floors, which is a convenient and quick process. When the problem occurs, it usually is quite a while before someone realises (after a few saves).
A way to delete or 'purge' duplicate objects, which have identical type and positional data, automatically from a selection, would be a good solution.
