Overview of Using the Map Editing Tools
AutoCAD Map 3D provides special editing tools for editing maps and spatial
data, as well as AutoCAD editing tools for editing drawing objects and design
data.
Examples: Stretching a new subdivision map into a preexisting parcel map
and aligning the two maps geographically, breaking a large city map into three
tiled sections, or creating a seamless join across two or more maps.
WARNING If you use these methods on a topology, they can make it invalid and
impossible to re-create. Use
topology editing commands (page 851) instead.
NOTE These commands work on drawing objects only. For information about
editing geospatial feature data, see
Using Feature Editing Commands (page 704)
and
Using AutoCAD Commands on Features (page 713). For information about
AutoCAD commands, see the AutoCAD Help.
