    If you have a line that would be used for constructing two polygons (left and right), which one would get the attributes? Or should both get them? Commented Oct 17, 2016 at 15:41
  • Are these lines all overlapping, does a single line enclose isolated areas or are they contiguous as hinted by @user30184? I think you need to upload some images to explain your data, as it stands it's too vague on what you are asking? Commented Oct 17, 2016 at 15:56
  • Try feature to polygon GP tool. As long as the individual lines create a closed polygon it will do what you want. desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/manage-data/… Commented Oct 17, 2016 at 17:52
  • I added a couple of snapshots of lines feature class to the question (the first one is close up view, the second overview, as @Hornbydd asked. Much of the lines are overlapping, some enclose isolated areas. The parameters the polygon feature class should get in best case scenario would the ones from lines, that make up most of the polygon border. Commented Oct 18, 2016 at 6:15

    Per the documentation, attributes are attached when supplied as label points. Convert your lines to points and use them as inputs for the line to poly tool. Preprocess your data by merging lines together to increase chances of success Commented Oct 18, 2016 at 6:42
