After a long summer holiday (sorry to those in the northern latitudes:-) my brain has apparently turned to mush, think too much sun and beer! Anyways...
I have two point shapefiles, their is a common field between them (ID). I am trying to establish if the common points between the shapefiles have the same geom in the two layers. (with a tolerance of 1m)
I have buffered one layer by 1m and then used a spatialfilter (CONTAINS) to establish if the points are within 1m of each other. I now want the distance between the points that dont satsfy the CONTAINS condition. ie >1m away. These come out of the SpatialFilter FAILED port.
I have tried using a Neighborfinder to get the distance if these FAILED records but i cant specify which IDs to compare. (ie the groupby clause = ID) doesnt work for me.
Does anyone else have an idea on how to establish the distance between these points that have failed the CONTAINS test.
Thanks Steve
