Overlaying Two Feature Sources
Use Overlay to compare two feature classes or layers that are spatially related.
One class or layer is designated the Source and one is designated the Overlay.
The Overlay operation produces an output layer that is also saved as a separate
SDF feature store. The contents and attributes of the new layer vary, depending
on the type of Overlay operation you perform.
NOTE This functionality applies only to geospatial feature data. For information
about using overlays for drawing objects, see
Overlaying Two Topologies (page
1336).
You can overlay feature classes with up to a million features, depending on
the size and complexity of the features.
NOTE You can automate Overlay operations using Workflows. For more
information, see
Setting Up and Running Workflows (page 274).
