Write attributes from one FC to another using location

Question

Hi everybody,

I'm currently working on a topic, where I want to write the attributes of one Feature Class in the Attribute Table of another Feature Class by using location. In patricular I've got a FC of buildings, which belong to different parcels. I want to write the information of the FC of the buildings in the FC of the parcels.

Is there any tool, which can help me performing this task?

Thanks in advance

Sebastian

Sebastian - depending on the number of feature attributes you want to transfer from one FC to another, there is the Transfer Attributes command.  You can read more about it here.

if you have more than one building per parcel, this approach does not work.

You'll have 1+ fields to write per polygon.

You'll need to summarize (number of buildings or average of building attributes per polygon)

Or have a 1-1 relationship (i.e. one capital per state)
