Annotation layer as attribute to polyline layer

[reemigt]

Hello!

I have the following 2 dxf layers:

one is annotations one is polylines

I need to make the annotation closest to a polyline, its attribute.

Does anyone have any idea how i can do that?

I thought about utilizing buffers but i dont know if it's right.

Hi,

One approach to achieve this could be to use the "Spatial Join" tool in ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Online.

First, convert the DXF layers into feature classes. Then, use the Spatial Join tool to join the annotation layer to the polyline layer, selecting the "closest" option as the match option.

You also could use the "Near" tool in ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Online to create a table of the nearest features and their distances, and then join the table to the annotation layer using the "Join Field" tool.
