Summary
Takes two feature layers and finds the minimum distance between the feature selected in the source layer and the features selected in the target layer. Read the Word (.doc) file for info on installation and use. NOTE: Some rules for this tool are: 1. You must have at least 2 feature layers (points, polylines, polygons) in your map. They can be of different types, but they cannot be CAD layers. It probably doesn't work with SDE layers. 2. Both layers must have the same projection, i.e. they must both have an associated .prj file with the same parameters. As best as I can tell, this is a requirement of ArcGIS. 3. The source layer must have only 1 feature selected. The target layer must have 1 or more features selected. You may select features on the layers after the tool is activated.
