WARNING Using the BREAK command affects topology. If you use BREAK, you
must use MAPTOPOCREATE again to recreate the topology. You might also need
to clean up the geometry in the drawing again.

NOTE This procedure 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 1308)and Overlaying Two Feature Sources
(page 1316).
