In addition to the dot variables available using the standard Define Query Of
Attached Drawings command, Define Topology Query has two extra dot
variables.
.TOPONAME Contains the topology name.
.TOPOTYPE Contains the topology type: NODE, NETWORK, or
POLYGON.
Three of the dot variables give different results in topology queries.
.DRAWING The drawing name that is the source of the geometry object
in the topology.
.AREA The value of the AREA object data field for each polygon.
