Spider Diagram

Creates a polyline feature class representing the shortest distance between centers (point dataset) and Destinations (Point, Polyline or Polygon datasets). The Destinations are allocated to the closest Center. 

Inputs:

• Point feature layer representing the Centers
• Point, Polyline or Polygon layer representing the destinations
• Cutoff distance - the maximum distance between a Center and a Destination to be used. Destinations that a further than this distance from any Center will not be assigned to a Center
• Output Spatial Reference

Outputs:

• New  Point feature class. The attribute table of the resulting feature class will have three new fields
  • [Center_ID] - the Feature ID of the Center point
  • [Dest_ID] - the Feature  ID of the Destination feature
  • [ET_Dist] - the distance from the Center to the Destination

Notes:

• The default output spatial reference is the one of the Centers dataset
• The user can specify a different output spatial reference, but it has to have the same Geographic Coordinate System as the one of the input feature classes
