Move a topology node

Move and Edit Vertices can move topology nodes. If map topology is turned on, all topology nodes and edges that are connected to the selected node stretch and move to maintain connectivity. These tools are available in the Modify Features pane.

To split connections between one or more topology elements, disable editing for the features in the selection tree view. If your edits break the topology graph, an error message appears in the pane and your changes are canceled.

Drag a topology node

Using Move to move a topology node is comparable to moving a feature. Click the Edges tab and press N while dragging a selection tool across the nodes to select only topology nodes.

1. On the ribbon, click the Edit tab, turn on Map Topology, and show the Modify Features pane.
   1. In the Manage Edits group, click the Map Topology drop-down arrow and enable map topology.

      

   2. In the Features group, click Modify .
2. In the Modify Features pane, expand Alignment and click Move .
3. In the Move pane, click the Edges tab.

   The topology graph highlights in the map.

4. Click Select edge or node , press N and drag a selection across the nodes you want to edit.

   

5. To split the connection between one or more topology elements, disable editing for the feature or turn the selection off in the selection tree view.
   • Uncheck the feature to temporarily disable editing and keep it in the selection.
   • Click the feature button to turn the feature selection on or off.
   • Click the feature name to flash the feature in the map

   

6. Drag the topology node.

   Coincident edges also move and any edges connected to its endpoints stretch and remain connected.

7. On the toolbar, click Finish or press the F2 key to apply your changes.

   

Move a topology node by a value

Using Edit Vertices to move a topology node is comparable to moving a vertex.

1. On the ribbon, click the Edit tab, turn on Map Topology, and show the Modify Features pane.
   1. In the Manage Edits group, click the Map Topology drop-down arrow and enable map topology.

      

   2. In the Features group, click Modify .
2. In the Modify Features pane, expand Reshape and click Edit Vertices .
3. In the Edit Vertices pane, click the Edges tab.

   The topology graph highlights in the map.

4. Click Select edge or node and click the node you want to move.
5. To split the connection between one or more topology elements, disable editing for the feature or turn the selection off in the selection tree view.
   • Uncheck the feature to temporarily disable editing and keep it in the selection.
   • Click the feature button to turn the feature selection on or off.
   • Click the feature name to flash the feature in the map

   

6. To move a node, click and drag it using the pointer or right-click and use the following commands:

   Move	Move the vertex by a specified X and Y distance.
   Move To	Move the vertex to the specified coordinate location.

7. Click Finish or press the F2 key to apply your changes.
