How to take attributes from end ponits to a line

[DanHoralík]

Hello, I have two shapefiles. The first one is a point shapefile that contains a lot of information in the attribute table.

The second one is a line shapefile. It contains about 50 lines. Every line starts at a different point (from the first shapefile) and all lines and in one place.

I need two take atrributes from the point shapefile and add them into the line shapefile. Is this possible?

Thanks for advice. For now it doesn't work, because it looks like my shapefiles are correupted in some way. I'll try your advice in a while.

assuming they are all in the same coordinate system, try running a repair geometry Repair Geometry—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

OK, I will check also that and then retry the whole thing.

Thank you, I think it will work, but first I must clean the mess that I have in my data. Thanks

Are you trying to create a spider diagram from a central point to other points?  If so, one of the options in the Spanning Tree toolset will be useful

I had a central city, from which I created straight lines to all other surrounding cities. I used "Construct sight lines" function for this, but the newly-created lines didn't inherit attributes from the surrounding cities point shapefile. Then I used "Spatial join" as you advised and everything is fine now. I just had to clean the mess in my data and it worked. Thanks and have a nice day!
