Overview of Creating Topologies
Using AutoCAD Map 3D, you can create node, network, or polygon topologies.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. There is no equivalent for
geospatial feature data. However, you can use buffers to analyze features by
proximity and perform overlay analysis on two geospatial feature layers. See
Buffering Features in Your Map (page 1306) and Overlaying Two Feature Sources
(page 1309).
Node Topologies
■ Define the interrelation of nodes (point objects).
■ Are often used in conjunction with other topologies in analysis.
Network Topologies
■ Connect links (lines) to form a linear network.
■ Links can connect nodes.
