Technically mundane question for some: I've got a ton of shapefiles for a
continuous, contiguous area. Problem is, they are all broken down into
discrete shapefile "sheets". I am more than familiar with the normal
process of "merging" the respective layers to create a extent-wide shapefile
for each layer. However, this poses enormous labor implications, not to
mention cramped mice-fingers. I can certainly important a set of shapefiles
to create a geodatabase, but, it would appear, that the same relative
problem exists: that of creating a lot of geodatabases, each a "sheet" worth
of shapefiles, but not a single "bucket" to dump all shapefiles and come out
smelling like roses, with only one geodatabase "layer" for each feature.
Does this make sense ? Granted, I firmly acknowledge that I am not the
sharpest tool in the shed, but is this a technology limitation of ESRI, a
limitation of database choice, user limitation (yes, me), or a combo ?
Thanks in advance.
