Calculating distance from points to nearest "eastern" polygon using ArcGIS Desktop?
I am using ArcGIS 10, and trying to do the following:
I have a layer file of points (industrial facilities), and I would like to calculate the distance from each point to the nearest "eastern" polygon (U.S. state). I know there are tools for calculating distances from points to polygons, but I don't know how (or, if you can) specify direction of the polygon.
Any advice?
