Then, use the Spatial Join tool to join the annotation layer to the polyline layer, selecting the "closest" option as the match option.</P><P>You also could use the "Near" tool in ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Online to create a table of the nearest features and their distances, and then join the table to the annotation layer using the "Join Field" tool.</P> Mon, 03 Apr 2023 18:14:11 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/annotation-layer-as-attribute-to-polyline-layer/m-p/1274842#M51233 Omar_A 2023-04-03T18:14:11Z
