Hello folks, I am trying to merge more than one shapefile (8 in fact) and I have tried doing this using arc toolbox>general>merge however I can merge three together but when I try to do more it fails on me. As a side note, I do not need any attribute information merged, just the spatial polygons themselves but I have a feeling the fail might be relating to something to do with the attributes.
Thanks
Thanks for your help, although with the license we have we can only put two features at a time with union. Obviously we could just do two at a time until all 8 are done but was just wondering if there was a quicker way for the future.
What error are you getting?
The Merge Tool Should work. Try saving the output as a File Geodatabase Feature Class.
May be the other shape files are not defined coordinate system or have another one.
