Use this dialog box to create polylines from a polygon topology.
Topology Name
- Name
- Select the topology you want.
- The list displays topologies loaded from the current drawing. If the topology you want is not listed, click Load and load it.
- Type
- Displays the type of the selected topology.
- Description
- Displays the description of the selected topology.
- Number of Polygons Referenced
- Displays the number of polygons referenced by the selected topology. If the topology is loaded as partial, this is the number of polygons in the partial subset.
How to Close
- Create on Layer
- Specify a layer for the new plines.
- Click Layers to select from a list of layers in the current drawing or enter a new layer name.
- Group Complex Polygons
- Select this option to group all closed plines that make up the original complex topology polygon. A complex polygon is one that includes islands.
- If the islands themselves have nested islands or other polygons, these nested polygons will form a separate grouping automatically, creating different levels of grouping. If two or more inner polygons are not nested but share the same outer boundary, they will be treated as one group.
- Copy Object Data from Centroid to Pline
- Select this option to copy object data from the centroid to the closed pline that is created.
- Copy Database Links from Centroid to Pline
- Select this option to copy database links from the centroid to the closed pline that is created.
- Database links on islands are copied to the outer polygon edge.
