Hi,
I am just trying to use the NeighborFinder tool to calculate distances between two feature classes (points to polygon) however I couldnt get the distance output into metres.
Coordinate system of the source data are GDA94..
Thank you!

Hi @sangli, the units of the distance computed by the transformer can be considered as the same as the units of coordinates in the input features. If it was sure that the units of coordinates of both Base and Candidate features was meters, I think you could consider the units of resulting distance as meters.
Don't use geographic coordinates for any spatial processing. Always convert any lat/long sources into a projected coordinate system before doing calculations. The only exception is a Great Circle calculation which needs spherical coordinates.
