Select Data dialog box - Topology Overlay

Use this dialog box to select the data to attach to the result topology when performing a topology overlay.

The selected fields and columns are incorporated into a new object data table that is attached to the result topology.

Source Data Area

Select fields and columns. You can combine data from different tables.

To select a field from an object data table, select the Object Data option, and then select the table from the list. In the Available Fields/Columns list, select the fields to use. Click >>.

The Link Template list includes only link templates for the drawing where the topology is loaded.

In addition, be sure the appropriate data source is attached and connected in the current drawing.
