What are the rules for Polygon feature classes?
Each polygon must contain exactly one point. Each point must fall within a polygon. Use this rule to make sure that there is a one-to-one correspondence between features of a polygon feature class and a point feature class, for example, when parcels must contain exactly one address point.
How are polygons covered in the geodatabase topology?
All polygons in the first feature class and all polygons in the second feature class must cover each other. This means that feature class one (1) must be covered by feature class two (2), and feature class two (2) must be covered by a feature class of feature class one (1).
When do polygons have to be covered by another polygon?
Polygons in one feature class or subtype must be covered by a single polygon from another feature class or subtype. Use this rule when you want one set of polygons to be covered by some part of another single polygon in another feature class or subtype, for example, when counties must be covered by states.
How do you select a polygon in ArcGIS?
You can use a variety of selection methods to select the point, line, or polygon features in one layer that are near or overlap the features in the same or another layer. Use the following steps to apply the Select By Location tool.
When do polygon boundaries need to be covered by lines?
Polygon boundaries in one feature class or subtype must be covered by the lines of another feature class or subtype. Use this rule when polygon boundaries should be coincident with another line feature class or subtype, for example, when major road lines form part of outlines for census blocks.
When does a polygon overlap with another polygon?
Use this rule to make sure that no polygon feature overlaps another polygon feature in the same feature class or subtype, for example, when administrative boundaries such as ZIP Codes or voting districts, or mutually exclusive area classifications such as land form types cannot have any overlaps.
