Help with isolating points that are within 1km of shoreline

jamierodriguez

I have a shape file with over 12,000 points in a coastal county in Florida. How do I go about isolating only the points that are within 1km of the shoreline with the intercoastal. I think I need to do a "Select Layer by Location" but how do I go about getting a feature that is only the shoreline with the intercoastal. 

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi @jamierodriguez,

You can specify the distance from a selected feature by either clicking on the feature in the map (if you want to interactively specify the feature/record) or in the select feature by location dialogue box you can specify the feature and modify the search distance from another feature.
