Identity

Creates a new feature class by overlaying two feature layers. Input features can be points, polylines, or polygons. Overlay features must be of the same or higher geometry type. Output features resulting from the overlay operation are of the same type as the Input features. Attribute table of the Output feature class contains all selected fields from the Input and Overlay layers attribute tables. Selecting only the fields that you need in the output feature class may significantly speed up processing.

Parameter	Comments
Input features <in_features>	The input point, polyline or polygon features that the Identity operation will be applied to.
Input fields {source_fields;source_fields...}	Attribute fields of the Input feature class that will be transferred to the Output feature class.
ID field name {source_id_field}	Specify the ID field for the Input features.
Overlay features <identity_features>	Overlay features that will be used for Identity operation. Selected attributes from Overlay feature class will be transferred to the Output feature class.
Overlay fields {identity_fields;identity_fields...}	Attribute fields of the Overlay feature class that will be transferred to the Output feature class.
Overlay ID field {identity_id_field}	Specify the ID field for the Overlay features.
Output feature class <out_feature_class>	Output feature class that will contain Input features with the attributes selected from the Input and Overlay feature classes.
Tolerance {tolerance}	Specify the minimum distance that may be separating Input and Overlay feature coordinates.
