Find Nearest Features

Parameter

Comments

Input features
<in_features>

Input features of any geometry type.

Candidate features
<near_features>

One or a few feature layers with candidate near features of any geometry type.

Parameters
<fields>

Specify proximity parameters that will be calculated.

• DISTANCE - the shortest distance between input and near features.

• DISTANCE_ALONG - the distance from the first point of the near line feature to the projection of the closest input feature location onto this line (available for line candidate features)

• FID - ID of the candidate feature containing the nearest location to the input feature.

• DATASET_PATH - the path to candidate feature class containing near feature.

• ANGLE - the angle in degrees between a line, connecting input feature and near feature location in the shortest distance, and X-axis (0° - East, 90° - North, -90° - South, used with selected PLANAR distances) or North (0° - North, 90° - East, -90° - West, used with selected GEODESIC distances).

• LINE_SIDE - the side of near line feature (by its direction) where there is the closest input feature location (0 - left side, 1 - right side, available for line candidate features).

• POINT_X - X coordinate of the near feature location.

• POINT_Y - Y coordinate of the near feature location.

Search radius
{search_radius}

Specify search radius and radius units.

Method
<method>

Select method:

• GEODESIC - geodesic distances will be calculated.

• PLANAR - planar distances will be calculated.

Distance units
{geo_units}

Specify distance units.
