I have a dataset of bird nests located around the US. I've got around 280 nest locations all as points in one feature class in ArcGIS Pro. For some statistical analyses I want to run, I need to create additional points (Psuedo-Absence locations where the birds aren't nesting) equal to the total number of nests I currently have. To make these, I'd like to generate a new point out and away from each of the   nest points in a random direction and for a random distance (within a set range of meters), ending with a total set of 560 points. I've looked around at the various point tools, but I don't see anything that does what I'm looking for. Most of the tools I've found just generate points randomly from the dataset, but I need them generated within a specific range of conditions. Could someone help point me in the right direction? I am also not well versed in ArcGIS coding. Thank you ... View more

Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. ... View more
