Thank you all again. I do not own ArcInfo so cannot utilize the MATCHCOVER
command nor do I own ArcEdit. However I do own AutoCad Map which I am liking
more and more. This is for James Kelly who is also using AutoCad: Can you
describe in detail how you went about the process of matching up the lines?
I have some sort of routine but maybe you could suggest something. Thanks

Hamish


Have you checked out the MATCHCOVER command in ArcINFO?

position.



whoah, hold on there hamish, there is always a better way, and I believe it
is this.
If you can get the lines close, bring them up in a backcoverage in arcedit
and use the Transfer commands to click/click the data from line to line.
Unfortunately, there is no faster way to transfer line attributes due to the

inability to overlay lines features properly.
I just had someone doing the above method of transfering with tiger data
last week, it works. If you have more questions, feel free....
good luck,

Hi,

I just read your summary and may not have much help to offer, but
thought I would share my trial.  I had a tigerroads coverage for our
state that didn't match on the West side.  I exported it to a dxf file
and used Autocad's move and scale functions to match it to our state.
Once brought back into ArcView it was a very good fit.  Your are limited
on the attributes you can transfer though.

Good Luck,
