Here is the scenario: I am creating line segments between points to represent human migrations from place to place over time. Each point is attributed with City, State, Year, Lat, Long, etc, etc. What I am trying to do is join the point attributes to the newly created line segments. The trick is I need to join line segment 1 with point 2. Essentially line 1 needs the "Destination" attributes, not the "Origin" attributes. However, when I go to join the tables I can't join line 1 with point 2. It joins line 1 with point 1, thus giving the attributes from the origin point instead of the destination point. This might be confusing, so here's the example:
Points Table
FID ID Event City_Town State Country Year
0 1 Begin Seattle WA US 1986
1 2 Move Helena MT US 1988
2 3 Move ...
Line Segments Table
FID
0
1
2
Is there a way to join Line Segment FID 0 with Point FID 1? When I try to join the Lines Table FID with the Points Table ID a null record is added so that the tables line up at 1. Any way around this? Thanks.
