I used "Construct sight lines" function for this, but the newly-created lines didn't inherit attributes from the surrounding cities point shapefile. Then I used "Spatial join" as you advised and everything is fine now. I just had to clean the mess in my data and it worked. Thanks and have a nice day!</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:57:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/how-to-take-attributes-from-end-ponits-to-a-line/m-p/743458#M2465 DanHoralík 2015-11-17T20:57:08Z Re: How to take attributes from end ponits to a line https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/how-to-take-attributes-from-end-ponits-to-a-line/m-p/743459#M2466 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>glad it worked, and for the update</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:05:57 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/how-to-take-attributes-from-end-ponits-to-a-line/m-p/743459#M2466 DanPatterson_Retired 2015-11-17T21:05:57Z
