Point to Point Snapping

Alovell — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 16:30:45 GMT

Hey Guys,

I'm currently using ArcGIS Pro 3.1.1 and Quick Capture to do some quick surveys of our Telecom system. Our field workers are using quick capture to collect point data and I am populating those responses in a Maintenance Map. I want to be able to snap those points to another point feature layer in the map since they are not right on top of the feature when they capture the data, but it doesn't seem that the Snap Geoprocessing tool supports snapping one point to another? Anyone know a way around this? Attached is one of the errors it throws when I attempt to run the tool.

So I think you're using the wrong tool to accomplish your task. The error code means that the points have to move to be coincident with the vertices, edges or endpoints of a line feature class I believe. I would use the Integrate (Data Management) GP tool instead. Rank high to low using 1, 2, 3 and so. 2 and 3 ranked data will move to 1 ranked data if it falls within the XY tolerance. Would this accomplish what you're looking to do?

That worked like a charm, thanks Robert!

The snapping tool will work when both the Type and Distance fields are filled in. See, there are no warnings given. You may have been getting the error because there was nothing in the Type field.

It is also possible that since I am using v 3.3.1 the functionality for points may have been added since 3.1.1.
