GIS Gurus,
I am a baseline GIS user and unfortunately not too knowledgeable/savvy in scripts/advance programming. I'm looking for a script (or any other advice you can provide) that will automate a rather tedious process that I've encountered...
I have a point feature class with over 1000 unique entries, each representing a node in a water network. Each node has a Node ID associated with it. I am creating a polygon feature class which contains areas contributing to each node. Ideally, I would like a script which allows me to draw the polygon and then prompts me to click on which node the polygon is associated with. This selection would in turn populate a field in the polygon feature class with the Node ID.
Does anybody have anything they can share that would accomplish this? Or know where I can start? Thanks in advance!

So in other words, my procedure would ideally be:
1. Activate the script (the basis or language of which I am requesting in this thread)
2. Create a polygon feature (assume the feature class name is Shapefile_P)
3. Script would prompt me to click on a node (which would be in a points feature class, Shapefile_N)
4. Based on selection, script would read the associated NodeID from Shapefile_N and place this data in a field in Shapefile_P.
5. repeat forever on end
Hopefully that provides a little more clarification on my end goal.
