Hello all

I've got quite a simple question.
I've got 2 shape files, the first is the roads in the north, the second is the roads in the south. 
I want to combine those 2 shape files into one, including their table data and geospatial location.

Any idea how do I do that ?

Thanks in advance,

GeoVegan,

There are a couple of ways to join 2 shape files into one master shape file. This is the route I would take to get it done quickly:

1. Start a new drawing and assign your desired coordinate system
2. Import the first shape file. Be sure to click in the data field and make sure you bring in the data associated with that shape file.
3. Import the second shape file. Again, make sure you bring in the data with it.
4. You will now have a drawing file with all of the geometry as cad entities and the data attached to the entities in the form of object data. You can confirm this by selecting and entity and looking at its properties. It should show a separate area in the properties preceded by OD:.
5. Now use the Map Export command to export the all of the objects along with their data. You have to make sure you select the data to export along with the entities.

You will now have a shape file with all of your roads along with the data.

I hope this answers your question. I would be happy to go into more detail if you need.

Shawn
