Question

The ___________ geoprocessing operation is used to join together the geometry and attributes of either (1) all features in a data layer or (2) only features that share specific attribute values.

Answer 1

The Dissolve geoprocessing operation is used to combine the geometry and attributes of all features in a data layer or only features that share the value of a specific attribute.

The attributes of the merged objects can be summarized or described using various statistics. Statistics is used to summarize the attributes added to the output feature class as a single field with the standard statistic style naming + underscore + input field name. Merging can produce very large features in the output feature class. This is especially true when there are a small number of unique values ​​in the Dissolve Field parameter(s), or when dissolving all objects into a single object. Features that are too large can cause processing or display problems or poor performance when plotted on a map or when edited. Problems can also arise if the merged output produces a function at maximum size on one machine and that output is transferred to a machine with less memory. To avoid these potential problems, use the Create Multipart feature set to create a single part of the attributes features to split potentially larger multipart features into many smaller features. For extremely large features generated by the Dissolve tool, the Dice tool can be used to split large features to solve processing, rendering, or performance issues.
