Hey everyone,
I've found a few ways of accomplishing what I would like to do here, but I'm just wondering if there's anything else out there I haven't tried.
Basically we've received a polygon shapefile in which the the boarders of the polygons are supposed to align with the roads. The problem is that the shapefile was made for all of canada and lacks a lot of detail that our own roads layer has (municipal). This creates obvious cartographic problems as well as processing issues.
I'm trying to snap the edges of the polygons to our roads. Now there are spots where the distance between these two is upwards of 20m. Some of it is pretty close though.
I've tried using topology to line everything up, but the problem is that I'm not sure how to do this without our roads moving (is there even a way other then setting the ranks?). I've tried various cluster tolerances.
I've also tried using integrate which seems to do about the same as using topology. Using a high tolerance tends to move the roads with this tool as well.
I've messed around a little with rubbersheeting it via spatial adjustment toolbar - this does a great job but it really isn't feasible as it's just too large of an area to go around collecting links. I have NOT looked at the remaining functions for a spatial adjust but I do intend to.
Any other suggestions? I know there's likely not going to be one perfect solution - but I'd like to minimize the manual effort required here.
