ArcMap 10.8.2 (no extensions)

I have 800 separate SID raster files (5000'x5000') and a separate polygon shape file with 800 polygons surrounding each individual SID file. 

Is there a way to automate populating each polygon field with the correct sid file names it surrounds/outlines?

Jumping off a method from RhettZufelt in the ArcPro forum, I ended up creating a raster catalog to ultimately export the footprint to a shapefile -

  1. Create raster catalog (unmanaged)
  2. Workspace to raster catalog 
  3. Export footprint from catalog (to new feature class)
  4. Export feature class (from footprint) to shapefile

Thanks again RhettZufelt for your help.  

super easy, super fast
