NOTE: This topic was updated for 9.3.1.
The Near and the Generate Near Table tools calculate the distance between different spatial features and are two fundamental tools of proximity analysis. Near distance is calculated by evaluating the shortest seperation between an input feature and a near feature. The following feature type combinations are supported:
- Point-to-Point
- Point-to-Line | Line-to-Point
- Point-to-Polygon | Polygon-to-Point
- Line-to-Line
- Line-to-Polygon | Polygon-to-Line
- Polygon-to-Polygon
