To Add a Polygon to a Topology

You can add a polygon using existing objects or new linework as a perimeter. To add a polygon to a polygon topology, the current drawing must be where the topology was created.

To add a polygon to a polygon topology using existing linework

1. Open the drawing where the polygon topology was created and load the topology.

5. If you have blocks defined in the drawing, you are prompted to specify a block to use for the centroid. Press Enter to use ACAD_POINT, or type a block name and press Enter.

To add a polygon to a polygon topology by creating new linework

1. Open the drawing where the polygon topology was created and load the topology.
2. On the command line, type MAPIL.
3. When prompted, specify the location for a new link. The link must define a polygon.
