Hi guys, I am using Arcview 3.2 and I want to add the attributes of a point
theme to a polygon theme where the 2 intersect.
The spatial join IS restrictive. The point theme MUST be selected last and
so the join is to the point table!
So the quickest way seems to be to insert a uniqueid in the polygon theme,
intersect the 2 themes, and join back to the polygon table. (I want to
update the polygons not the points).
This seems pretty messy tho, is there a script out there that can do this?
The overall object that I am trying to achieve is...
Import text and polygons from a DGN file. The text origin falls inside a
polygon.
and the process...
I export the x,y,text from the DGN into a CSV file using a ustn macro
Open the CSV with Excel and save as a dbf file
Load the dbf as an event theme and convert to a shape file
And finally I want to attribute the polygon with the text where there is a
spatial intersection.
I am relatively new to Arcview and maybe I am using the wrong workflow.
Help!
cheers
Brian
