To load a topology
1 In Map Explorer, right-click the topology name ➤ Administration ➤
Load Topology.
2 If the topology is stored in a source drawing, the
Load Topology From
Source Drawing dialog box
(page 1978) appears, where you can specify the
following:
■ Create Topology Objects When Loaded — Select this check box to
copy the topology objects into the current drawing as the topology
is loaded. If this option is not selected, the objects are loaded but are
not copied into the current drawing.
■ Select Topology Objects For Save Back — Select this option to add
objects in the current drawing to the save back set if they are
referenced by the selected topology. This means that the objects will
be saved back to their source drawings and replace the original objects.
