GIS List:
I have about 200 individual polyline shapefiles (stream reaches) that I
need now (after-the-fact) to attribute about 10 simple fields worth of
data to. The 10 fields and their records need to attributed to each
shapefile/line. I work in Arc View 3.3.
Other than in AV adding each new field one at a time to the shape
attribute table, and then add each record one at a time, is there any
way to at least import a new dbaseIV table into each attribute table
that provides the fields (header) - leaving me to only then go back to
each attribute table and add the records for each. In other words how
can I avoid having to type in each new field over and over again for
hundreds of line shapes?
I've struggled with creating new dbaseIV files in Excel in an effort to
replace or add to the attribute table fields - but I lose geographic
data for each line. And there doesn't seem to be much room for error in
dbaseIV.
Any advice would appreciated.
