I have points representing where street light poles meet the ground. I also have the angle which the mast arm is facing. We use this to symbolize the features by showing the mast arm over the appropriate road- sometimes it is not perpendicular to the closest road. I need to associate attributes in the street centerline with the point.
The near tool doesn't do it because you can't specify a specific angle.
I found the Bearing Distance To Line tool:
Creates a new feature class containing geodetic line features constructed based on the values in an x-coordinate field, y-coordinate field, bearing field, and distance field of a table.
This worked well.
