Analyzing Topological Line Layers

This Help topic describes features that are available in XMap
Professional, XMap GIS Editor, and XMap GIS Enterprise.

Use the Magic Wand tool

on the toolbar to make selections on the map that

allow you to edit the attributes of the selected lines. You can run dynamic attribute

queries against topological line geometries based on connectivity. The tool works by
highlighting all line geometries (within the extent of the current map display) that

have the same attribute criteria as the selected line and that are connected to a line
selected with the tool. The magic wand tool becomes active on the toolbar only when

a topological line layer is selected in the Active Layer drop-down list.
Notes

• Hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard to add additional geometries to the

selection and query them one at a time.

• The Magic Wand tool is unavailable for spatial queries.
• XMap Professional users can access User Input queries but cannot create queries

or edit the topological line layers.

To Analyze Topological Line Layers
Use the following steps to analyze a topological line layer.

1. Ensure you have a topological line layer in your workspace and then select it

from the Active Layer drop-down list on the toolbar.

2. Click the Query tab and create a query.
3. Select the User Input check box.

The query displays in the Magic Wand drop-down list.

4. Repeat steps 2-3 for each query you want to create.
5. Select the query from the Magic Wand drop-down list.

6. Click to select a line on the map.

All lines that satisfy the attribute query criteria equal to the selected line and
