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).

current drawing.
■ Open the drawing containing the nodes.
■ Import nodes from another file format.
2 Click Create tab ➤ Topology panel ➤ New.
3 In the Create Topology - Select Topology dialog box (page 1969):
■ Click Node to specify the type of topology to create.
■ Enter a name and description for the new topology.
Names can contain letters, numbers, and the underscore, hyphen,
and dollar characters. Names cannot include spaces.
