ATTRIBUTING

How to join a table to a coverage:

Start with a borehole coverage with ID values (x,y)

Use the Generate to Coverage wizard in Arc Toolbox to convert it into a point coverage

Open a table with the ID data in Excel

Export table as a Dbase5 file (*.dbf file)

Use the Dbase to Info (DBASEINFO) command in Arc or use the Wizard in Arc Toolbox

The info file (.inf) can be related to an arc attribute table (AAT) or poly attribute table (PAT)

To join the two tables, use the “join item” command in arc

: JOINITEM <in_info_file> <join_info_file> <out_info_file> <relate_item> <start_item> {LINEAR÷

ORDERED÷ LINK}
