Attribute Assistant 10.1.1.1 Nearest_Feature Question

JohnRitsko — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:07:11 GMT

Here is what I'm trying to do.

I'm adding a point of interest (POI) onto a map and want it to utilize the parcel to populate my Facility Address field. However, using the parcel information requires using multiple fields to "CREATE" the address correctly. The parcel layer has a, STRNO, STRNAME, STRTYPE that need to be concatenated into one field in my POI layer.

I was thinking of using the NEAREST_FEATURE with a �??value info�?� like this:

parcels | STRNO+" "+STRNAME+" "+STRTYPE | 0.5

or perhaps

parcels | STRNO&" "&STRNAME&" "&STRTYPE | 0.5

However, this doesn't work out so good for me at this point. Perhaps there is a rather simple solution to this or perhaps not.

Also, my parcel data is in SDE and I have to join that Parcel layer with a table in order to get the address fields I need. During testing when I was simply getting one field it wouldn't let me do this at all with SDE. Perhaps it's the join not allowing me to do this or perhaps it because this data is in SDE while I'm editing in a FGDB outside of SDE. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. I got it to work by exporting out a few parcels from this joined layer for testing purposes.

1. Can I concatenate these values shown above?
2. Why can't I access my joined SDE layer in my "Value Info" field?

Thank you!

1: That rule does not support that. It allows you to copy one field from the nearest feature to one field in the edited feature
2: Joined fields are supported.

Is there a way to do it with an expression that you may know of?

You could use Nearest Feature Attributes and copy many fields into many source fields then use the Expression to concatenate them.

Worked out great.

Create the Nearest_Feature_Attributes (NFA) and an Expression and I'm assuming it runs each method in order so the expression will run after the (NFA) so it works fine.

thanks agian!
