Near Table without using FID

ToniBrugués

Hello,

I have 2 layers and I want to calculate the distance between the points of one layer and the points of the other (n to n). So I generate the near table but it uses FID field but I'd like to use another field. How can I do that?

thank you.

I'm working with zip codes, so I'd like to use these zip codes instead of the ID

The near calculations are still valid, you just need to get your zip code values into the near table results.

You could use the Join Field to add the Zip Code field from each point feature class to the near results.  The FID's will match to the OID's of each point feature class.

Hope this helps!

Best,
Chris B.
