The output should contain distances from each road feature to the nearest landuse feature in the selection.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 27 Oct 2011 17:39:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/minimum-distance-between-objects-in-two-layers/m-p/80482#M2800 DanLee 2011-10-27T17:39:37Z
