Overview of Editing a Topology
Use topology editing commands to make changes to a topology without losing
the integrity of the topology. If you use object-editing commands such as
ERASE or STRETCH to modify a topology, important data may be lost. To
repair a topology edited with these commands, use the
Update option (page
891).
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. There is no equivalent for
geospatial feature data.
Edits to this polygon topology consist of adding a node (page 877) and then
dividing the polygon (page 866) with a link.
To edit a topology, the topology data and geometry must be loaded in the
current drawing. You can edit only one topology at a time, and multi-user
editing of a topology is not permitted. When you load a topology, an audit
checks topology integrity. This audit is only concerned with topology data,
