I need to spatially join 2 polylines, but the problem is that the tables have nothing in common. Also, one of the tables is 4 times as big as the other one. Essentially, what is need is to combine the 2 layers into one based on location. I tried with buffers, and simple joining didnt work, so I will try spatial joining, but im wondering is there is a surefire way to do the following:
- A poorly digitized version (has what i need in the take)
- Properly digitized version ( 4x as big as previou)
If a polyline in #1 is found to be close to the polyline of #2, and share approximate angles, then it should merge.
