I have some labels to associate with line objects and there are too many to just use a near tool, but it seems that the OBJECTID of both labels and lines match each other. Could these values created from, for example, the order of drawing in autocad?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Jun 2016 15:58:11 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-does-arcgis-generate-the-field-objectid-when/m-p/716423#M40560 GabrielSt-Pierre 2016-06-28T15:58:11Z Re: How does arcgis generate the field OBJECTID when importing from .dwg? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-does-arcgis-generate-the-field-objectid-when/m-p/716424#M40561 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I assume they are as they were created.&nbsp; there is nothing is reserved work list to indicate otherwise</P><P><A href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/cad/reserved-cad-fields-for-dwg-and-dxf-files.htm" title="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/cad/reserved-cad-fields-for-dwg-and-dxf-files.htm">Reserved CAD fields for AutoCAD DWG/DXF formats—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop</A> </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Jun 2016 16:53:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-does-arcgis-generate-the-field-objectid-when/m-p/716424#M40561 DanPatterson_Retired 2016-06-28T16:53:08Z Re: How does arcgis generate the field OBJECTID when importing from .dwg? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-does-arcgis-generate-the-field-objectid-when/m-p/716425#M40562 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>After taking a data sample for a test, it seems to indicate that the labels can be joined to the lines using OBJECTID.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Jun 2016 17:01:41 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-does-arcgis-generate-the-field-objectid-when/m-p/716425#M40562 GabrielSt-Pierre 2016-06-28T17:01:41Z Re: How does arcgis generate the field OBJECTID when importing from .dwg? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-does-arcgis-generate-the-field-objectid-when/m-p/716426#M40563 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>A good place to put this thread would be in the <A href="https://community.esri.com/group/4631">CAD/GIS Data Integration</A>​ group <IMG src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/emoticons/happy.png" /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:34:57 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-does-arcgis-generate-the-field-objectid-when/m-p/716426#M40563 AdrianWelsh 2016-06-28T20:34:57Z Re: How does arcgis generate the field OBJECTID when importing from .dwg? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-does-arcgis-generate-the-field-objectid-when/m-p/716427#M40564 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you!</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 Jun 2016 12:33:25 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-does-arcgis-generate-the-field-objectid-when/m-p/716427#M40564 GabrielSt-Pierre 2016-06-29T12:33:25Z
