How I add multiple shapefiles to an already created geobase

JoãoToscano — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 15:05:14 GMT

Hello, I have a Geobase of a location with the attributes table already filled in, however, I have several owner shapes that I want to add to update it, is there any way to add them without having to perform an erase and an append for each one of the owners?

Jao, you wish to replace existing data in a single feature class from multiple shaopefiles sources?

I would suggest merging you shapefiles with the merge tool into a single source, then doing your erase and append

Sounds like a candidate for a model or script if it;s something you'll be doing a lot of though

Hi , i already have a single source with all the data, but i have separate shapefiles of some propertiess , that i need to add to update the single source.

And i was looking for fast way to add them, avoiding ading them one by one.(Erase and append)

I'm not sure I fully understand. Perhaps a few screenshots would help to show how the data currently is and what you wish to achieve

OK, so I stand by my initial point. You merge the new shapefiles (blue, green, purple etc.) into a single "input" file, then use that merged file to do an erase and append and your master copy in the geodatabase.

As I said it lends itself to a model or script if it's something you are going to be doing all the time. Have a look at model builder if you aren't comfortable with python. You can use a very simple GUI to string tools together. So your could start with a merge, then connect the output to an erase and then an append. Once it's built then the process would be a single click operation every time you came to do it.
