  • 1.  How to select points from one table using points from another table

    Posted 06-27-2018 21:30

    Currently using pro 17. I have created a raster using 5m grid points and then a aspect files. I resampled the aspect file to 10m and exported points however they are not in the same location as original grid file( only .2m difference but some point fall on different 10m tiles ). I would like to use the exported 10m grid file to selected only the 10m grid points from original 5m grid file and then use point inspect method to attach aspect to the 10m grid.

    I know how the select points within a polygon but I'm unable to find a way to select points from one table within a set distance to points from another table.

    Daryl,

    One obvious solution is to create a copy of your table and create a small buffer around the points. In this way you can use the standard methods for selecting points within polygons.

    Another solution would be not export you grid as points, but export them as polygons/grid cells. This would of course give you a similar result to just using the Point Inspection tool under Raster Operations.

    So maybe I have overlooked exactly what you are trying to do?
