Hello,

I am creating buffer polygons for points, but I would like to loop through the newly created buffers and associate them with subsequent points that fall within the new buffer.

If 2 points are next to each other, the first point would be buffered and the second point would be associated with that buffer.

Thank you.

Buffering is likely not most efficient way to do this.  GIS has advanced a lot more since these 1990s techniques!

If want to find which points are in proximity to each other and relate them, use NeighborFinder and set it to Candidates Only mode.  Set the maximum search distance to the “Buffer” distance and set it to generate a List output of the Points within the specified search proximity.  NeighbourFinder will also output the distance between each pair of points and the vector line coordinates between them
