Identity

Computes a geometric intersection of the input features and identity features. The input features or portions thereof that overlap identity features will get the attributes of those identity features.



1. Input Features

The input feature class or layer.

2. Identity Features

The identity feature class or layer. Must be polygons or the same geometry type as the input features.

3. Output Feature Class

The feature class that will be created and to which the results will be written.

4. Join Attributes (optional)

Determines what attributes will be transferred to the output feature class.

· ALL—All the attributes (including FIDs) from the input features, as well as the identity features, will be transferred to the output features. If no intersection is found the identity feature values will not be transferred to the output (their values will be set to empty strings or 0) and the identity feature FID will be -1. This is the default.

· NO_FID—All the attributes except the FID from the input features and identity features will be transferred to the output features. If no intersection is found the identity feature values will not be transferred to the output (their values will be set to empty strings or 0).

· ONLY_FID—All the attributes from the input features but only the FID from the identity features will be transferred to the output features. The identity features FID attribute value in the output will be -1 if no intersection is found.

5. XY Tolerance (optional)

The minimum distance separating all feature coordinates (nodes and vertices) as well as the distance a coordinate can move in X or Y (or both).

6. Keep relationships (optional)

Choose if you want additional spatial relationships between the Input Features and Identity Features to be written to the output. This only applies when the Input Features are lines and the Identity Features are polygons.

· Unchecked—No additional spatial relationship will be determined.

· Checked—The output line features will contain two additional fields, LEFT_poly and RIGHT_poly. These fields contain the feature ID of the Identity Features on the left and right side of the line feature.

Intersect

Computes a geometric intersection of the input features. Features or portions of features which overlap in all layers and/or feature classes will be written to the output feature class.



1. Input Features

A list of the input feature classes or layers. When the distance between features is less than the cluster tolerance, the features with the lower rank will snap to the feature with the higher rank. The highest rank is one.

2. Output Feature Class

The output feature class.

3. Join Attributes (optional)

Determines which attributes from the input features will be transferred to the output feature class.

· ALL—All the attributes from the input features will be transferred to the output feature class. This is the default.

· NO_FID—All the attributes except the FID from the input features will be transferred to the output feature class.

· ONLY_FID—Only the FID field from the input features will be transferred to the output feature class.

4. XY Tolerance (optional)

The minimum distance separating all feature coordinates (nodes and vertices) as well as the distance a coordinate can move in X or Y (or both). 

5. Output Type (optional)

Choose what type of intersection you want to find.

· INPUT—The intersections returned will be the same geometry type as the input features with the lowest dimension geometry. If all inputs are polygons, the output feature class will contain polygons. If one or more of the inputs are lines and none of the inputs are points, the output will be line. If one or more of the inputs are points, the output feature class will contain points. This is the default.

· LINE—Line intersections will be returned. This is only valid if none of the inputs are points.

· POINT—Point intersections will be returned. If the inputs are line or polygon, the output will be a multipoint feature class.
