Jun 15, 2016 at 5:02 comment added user20408 @MichaelMiles-Stimson thanks for your response. I have an advanced license. How would Union work to get the results I need? I've used the tool occasionally before but not for anything like this. Thank you.
Jun 15, 2016 at 5:00 comment added user20408 @FelixIP I do have an advanced license. For combine, the problem is that overlapping polygons do not have the same ID. That is why I was planning on using a spatial join, to relate the polygons over time to each other It appears that combine works by combining like values, although I could be wrong. Thoughts?
Jun 15, 2016 at 0:45 comment added Michael Stimson Without an advanced license you can union two layers only, if you use the workflow A union B = AB, AB union C = ABC, two steps to overlay 3 feature classes. This gets tedious if you've got hundreds but 3 isn't too bad. Beware the shapefile database size limit (2GB), you might want to do this in a file geodatabase if the joined tables are going to be large.
Jun 15, 2016 at 0:35 comment added FelixIP I'd stick to rasters and use Combine. It will tell you complete story, e.g. new lake, dried up, exists in all 3 etc. Alternative is union of polygons with advanced license
