Import Topology (Defense Mapping)
Summary
Creates a geodatabase topology from a definition .xml file. Use the Esri Defense Mapping solution's Export Topology tool to create the .xml file. Both this tool and the Export Topology tool allow you to share and create topologies within different Defense Mapping data models. The .xml file contains a definition of a topology, including feature class names and topology ranks and weights.
