I have found an instance where the Select Feature By Location, using select by intersect with 0 distance, is selecting features when they shouldn't. See below, notice how close I am:
This is creating problems in our database where we need pipes split at valves and fittings. In this case, it skipped a split here. So, even though the select by location says it intersects, the Split By Feature point tool doesn't think so.
Is this a bug?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Would have to test on copy first, but I believe if you run a Snap on the valves and fittings (to the lines) with real small tolerance, it should move them over so that the Split By Feature tool would think so. Unless, of course, the snap tool has issues with XY tolerance as well.

I think this is an issue of the XY tolerance settings in your map. If you're that close, then all of ArcGIS' tools will consider those two features to be functionally coincident.

I just ran Snap and it looks like it worked. I never thought of the XY tolerance for my map so that is something to keep in mind.
Thanks!
