How do I combine two shapefiles with different attributes?

Process

  1. Click on the Vector menu, Data Management tools, Merge Shapefiles to One
  2. Ensure the correct shapefile type is selected (points, lines, or polygons). Select the folder where the two (or more) shapefiles you want to merge are located using the Browse button.

 

How do I combine attributes in Arcmap?

Note:

  1. Click the Edit tool. on the Editor toolbar.
  2. Click the features you want to merge. The features must be from the same layer.
  3. Click the Editor menu and click Merge.
  4. Click the feature that the features will be merged into and will supply the attributes for the merged feature.
  5. Click OK.


How do I combine attributes in Qgis?

Quote from video: Choose the joins tab. And click the plus to add a new join. Here you see that it automatically already sees that the station. Numbers are the same in both tables.

How do I join polygons in Qgis?

Use “Select Features by Area” button -> select the polygons to be merged. Select “Toggle Editing” mode -> then “Merge selected features”
 

How do I combine shapefile features in ArcGIS?

Merging Shapefiles in ArcGIS Desktop

  1. Add two or more shapefiles in ArcGIS Desktop.
  2. Select Geoprocessing.
  3. Select Merge.
  4. See Merge Tool screen.
  5. Add the two or more shapefiles in Input Datasets.
  6. Save the Output Dataset.
  7. Name the Output shapefile.

How do you combine properties of two objects?

What is the difference between merge and union in Arcgis?

Quote from video:



Can a shapefile have multiple feature types?

Because the shape type precedes each geometry record, a shapefile is physically capable of storing a mixture of different shape types.

How can we transfer the attributes to other shape?

Click the Spatial Adjustment menu and click Attribute Transfer Mapping. Click the Source Layer drop-down arrow and choose a layer. Click the Target Layer drop-down arrow and choose a layer. Click a field in the source layer’s Field list box and click a corresponding field in the target layer’s Field list box.

How do I merge polygons with different layers?

Combining features from different layers (Union)

  1. Click the Edit tool. on the Editor toolbar.
  2. Click the features you want to combine into one.
  3. Click the Editor menu and click Union.
  4. Choose the target in which the new feature will be created.
  5. Click OK.
