Points to Lines With Common Field

[deleted-user-qpvAI3Fo0MKR]

I have 2 point feature classes with a common attriubte.

I'd like to create straight-line features between the points in FC A and the points in FC B based on the common attribute.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

You could... 

• join the two files on the common id field, copy/export to a new file
• add the fromX, fromY and toX and toY fields to your table (calculate their values as appropriate IF you don't already have them
• use... XY To Line—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop

Beat me to deleting this post, Dan Patterson‌! I figured it out on my own and just came back to delete the question.

Thanks!
