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).
To create a network topology
1 Do one of the following to bring the linework into the current drawing:
■ Attach the drawings containing the linework. Query the linework
into the current drawing.
■ Open the drawing containing the linework.
■ Import the linework from another file format.
2 Click Create tab ➤ Topology panel ➤ New.
3 In the Create Topology - Select Topology dialog box (page 1969), do the

■ Click Network 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.

4 In the Create Network Topology - Select Links dialog box (page 1956),
specify the links to include in the topology:
■ To include all links in the map, click Select All.
■ To manually select the links to include, click Select Manually. Click
Select Links to select the links in the map. When you finish selecting
links, press Enter.
