Additional Information

The issue is not reproducible with the provided data, WELD_PIPELINE_original. The layer is sorted in ascending order by the Shape_Length field. The first two records have a length value of 0.000002 in decimal degrees, and when measured using the Measure Feature option from the Map ribbon tab, the length is 0.61 Feet. However, since these short features are connected to another line at one end, they do not qualify for the 'Delete Short Features' option, which only applies to free-standing features unconnected at any endpoint. All remaining features in the layer have a length of 0.000003 or greater, which corresponds to exactly 1 Foot when measured with the tool. According to the documentation, segments shorter than the Dangle Length value are either trimmed or deleted. Since the short features measure exactly 1 Foot, they are not removed when a Dangle Length of 1 Foot is specified. However, using a Dangle Length of 1.01 Feet confirms that all short freestanding features in this layer are deleted.
