Question

How do I spatially select polygons that have a set of points that fall within them, merge the attributes of the point and polygon datasets and then write out only the polygon features?

I have a large polygonal dataset and a point dataset with 178 records. I need to select the polygons that have a point within them, merge the attributes of the two and then write out a polygonal feature class to later be consumed in GIS project inside Arc Pro. I have tried Point On Area Overlay but the output Point data does not contain any attributes from the Polygonal dataset and vice versa. I have also tried Spatial Relator / Spatial Filter with no luck. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

The PointOnAreaOverlyer should work for this as you have it configured.

 

Important things to check:

  1. Make sure that the the points and polygons are in the same coordinate system, ideally a projected coordinate system (not lat long).
  2. You have a few features which are getting rejected, check that these are not the features which might have the data in.
  3. The _overlaps attribute will indicate weather or not there was a join so after the overlay you can test for when _overlaps is >0.
