I am primarily trying to do this in Geomedia Professional but ArcGIS is my "native" GIS language so here goes. I did a version of what I want in Geomedia but the result was screwy. The main reason I'm posting on this board is to learn what are the same types of commands or tools I need to use in Geomedia.
I have a points layer of all the locations where a streets layer intersected a polygon. The points layer has the same street name field as the streets layer.
I ultimately want to create a streets layer of all the streets that intersect the polygons. I have thought one way to do this is using a Field Equation of Street Name (points layer) = Street Name (polyline layer). However I can't seem to figure out the correct syntax for a field equation in the points layer, and even if I add a text field for Field Equations, it gives me numbers in the field automatically??! I thought you could Select by Points? I did see there's an Extract By Points function in ArcTool Box but you need a Network Analyst license to do it and we don't have one.
In Geomedia, the Join Functionality allows you to do exactly what I want (use street field names from both layers) but it ends up giving me more street segements than are actually intersecting the polygons. Bizarre.
I've attached some Jpgs of what happened in Geomedia.
Thanks,
