Transfer attribute data from one polyline to another

LuisGalimberti1 — Thu, 25 Feb 2016 16:51:41 GMT

Hi there,

I have two different sets of center lines (none attributes in common). I am trying to transfer the attribute data from one to another. I tried to use Thiessen polygons to achieve this but it does not work. I ran out of ideas so I will appreciate if someone can help me out with this.

Thanks

Could you perform a spatial join? This may help what you are doing

Take a look at the "Transfer Attribute" tool, in the "Conflation" toolbox. It's designed to do what you are trying to do here.

You might need to add attribute fields to your "target" features to receive the values from the source features.

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the message. I have already tried the spatial join. The problem is that the polylines are also segmented differently, and I couldn’t find a way to set more rules the moment that I did the spatial join.
