Is there a way for me to select points that share a line with a vertex? I'm trying to identify poles that are connecting cable going over the road. Seems simple enough but I have yet to find a resolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Jennifer,
I can't think of any out-of-the box solution, but you may be able to do some sort of manual or Python-automated selection process. Does your cable line ever back-track? If not, you may be able to use some sort of logic like this:
1) Get the objectID (or some other unique identifier) of the line feature the point sits on.
2) Select all points that intersect that line.
3) From the point selection, use a tool such as Near to find the nearest point to your road intersection point.
It may take some work but that's the closest thing I can think of off the top of my head.
Best of luck!
Best regards,

Thank you for getting back to me. I spent two days trying to figure this out myself.

If you have the correct license, you might be able to turn your vertices to points and then perform a topology between those new points and your pole points.

Thank you. I will give this a try.
