Hi all! Hopefully I am able to word this in a way that makes sense..
I have a shapefile with points, and one with roads, and I am trying to figure out how to get the nearest distance from the points to a specific type of road within the roads shapefile. The roads attribute table has a "Surface" column, and I'd like to get distance from each point to the nearest paved road, then nearest unsurfaced road, and so on.
My plan was to "Select By Attributes" for each road type, then export them to their own shapefiles, so I could do a simple "Spatial Join", but the roads shapefile will not allow me to "Export Features".
Is there a different way to do this? Any and all help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
