topic Spatial Join, Centroid of Join Feature in Python Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/spatial-join-centroid-of-join-feature/m-p/514568#M40389 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Im trying to create a spatial join from one shapefile of many polygons and another shapefile of many polygons, The target feature is a mosaic of large polygons and the join feature are smaller polygons that overlap inside the larger ones. When i have the match_option as "INTERSECT" i will get the join counts i want except some join polygons overlap 2 target features so i want to join based on the centroid of the join polygon falling into the target polygons. The CENTROID option joins based on the center of the target feauture.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I was able to make it where i created Centroid points based on the join polygons and then substituted those in as the joins instead and then INTERSECT works for what i wanted to join but i just found it odd that there is no option set for the join polygon centers in the first place</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:41:52 GMT BenFriedrich 2013-07-23T13:41:52Z Spatial Join, Centroid of Join Feature https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/spatial-join-centroid-of-join-feature/m-p/514568#M40389 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Im trying to create a spatial join from one shapefile of many polygons and another shapefile of many polygons, The target feature is a mosaic of large polygons and the join feature are smaller polygons that overlap inside the larger ones.
