Hi everyone!
I'm having a bit of trouble with the 'Distance Calculator' tool in v8.0 and could really do with some help. I have 2 tables, Table 1 containing point objects and Table 2 containing polylines.
I'm trying to calculate the shortest distance between each object in Table 1 to the nearest polyline in Table 2. This works fine for the vast majority of objects, but for some reason some of the
objects are being assigned to polylines which are clearly not the nearest! It's only something like 1 in 20 of the objects that's doing this so it's easily corrected manually if I have a small number of objects and polylines, but the tables I'm working on at the moment contain something like 15,000 point objects - so that's quite a lot of incorrect distances being calculated!
Anyone got any idea what's going on and how I can solve this problem?
Thanks!
