Geoprocessing Tools Flashcards
Computes a geometric intersection of the input features. Features or portions of features that overlap in all layers or feature classes will be written to the output feature class.
Intersect
Analysis Tools > Overlay > Intersect
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.
Identity
Analysis Tools > Overlay > Identity
Computes a geometric union of the input features. All features and their attributes will be written to the output feature class.
Union
Analysis Tools > Overlay > Union
Creates a feature class by overlaying the input features with the erase features. Only those portions of the input features falling outside the erase features are copied to the output feature class.
Erase
Analysis Tools > Overlay > Erase
Joins attributes from one feature to another based on the spatial relationship. The target features and the joined attributes from the join features are written to the output feature class.
Spatial Join
Analysis Tools > Overlay > Spatial Join
Calculates distance and additional proximity information between the input features and the closest feature in another layer or feature class.
Near
Analysis Tools > Proximity > Near
Reads a table and a set of fields and creates a new table containing unique field values and the number of occurrences of each unique field value.
Frequency
Analysis Tools > Statistics > Frequency
Extracts input features that overlay the clip features.
Use this tool to cut out a piece of one dataset using one or more of the features in another dataset as a cookie cutter. This is particularly useful for creating a new dataset—also referred to as study area or area of interest (AOI)—that contains a geographic subset of the features in another, larger dataset.
Clip
