Creating a Result Topology
When you use a topology query, you can hold the retrieved information in
the current drawing in three types of topology:
■ None — No information is added to the geometry in the current drawing.
■ Temporary — Information is retrieved and stored in memory as a topology
with a name preceded by an asterisk (*).
You cannot save back the temporary topology to the queried drawings.
However, you can save the temporary topology to make it permanent (page
1354), or you can retain the topology in the current drawing.
■ Permanent — The query retrieves data and creates a topology in the current
drawing. You can save back this topology to the source drawings. The
topology name must not be preceded by an asterisk (*).
Location Queries
Location queries on network topology work in the same way as queries on
any other linear or point object.

NodesNode
Links; also nodes if part of topologyNetwork
Polygons if links or centroid selected; also
links or nodes if part of polygon topology
Polygon
Polygons are handled as true areas, not just as boundaries. In the example
following, the polygon area crosses through the query boundary so the whole
polygon is retrieved, although none of the objects that make up the polygon
intersect any part of the query boundary.
