You could: -In one data set add a field containing the OGC geometry with OGCExtractor -Buffer that data set a modest amount to make it polygon data -Use a line on area overlay to pick up the other features' attributes -Revert to line geometry with OGCReplacer Regards Bruce.

I have 2 .shp files that do not link - both polyline, both cover the same geographic area, our client did not keep a common field between these 2 files (1 is old coverage and the other is new). I need to use the new shapefile, but I need it to link back to the old one as it links to other tables that I need. I've run both files through the workbench using Line on Line overlays, the files are projected the same but are a hair off, so out of 60000 arcs it overlaid only 4. Any ideas on whether I can add a buffer distance to the LOL overlay before I run it? I can't seem to find it anywhere in workbench. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!! THank you in advance, Jen
