OIC. I don't think you can accomplish that with the GUI. A node has multiple street segments coming into it, so there isn't a single value to tag. Your typical case of two streets intersecting involves four street segments (street x eastbound, street x westbound, street y northbound, street y southbound); a more complex intersection could have even more. The GUI could probably be tricked into giving you one street [step 1: tag each node with the nearest street; step 2: tag centroid with street value from nearest node], but you need more than that.

The GISDK can do this, however: GetNodeLinks() will yield an array with the IDs of all of the street segments that intersect with that node.

Thanks Moshe. Actually, I did a select by location and got all the the nodes for the closest instesection to my centroid layer. My endpoint node layer for my streets (not caliper streets), however, has only the latt/long as attributes. What I need is the names of the all the streets that intersect where the node lies, not just the latt/long. I need to put these names from the street layer in my node dataview somehow. Does this make sense? Maybe I'm just missing something simple? Bob

    Perhaps I'm missing something here, but can't you just tag your
    centroid layer with the nearest node? If you're using the Caliper
    streets file, I'm referring to the the layer na! med "CDF node
    layer" that is hidden by default-- it has a point for every
    intersection.

    Type "tagging" into Maptitude help for more info about this
    operation-- it behaves slightly differently depending on whether
    you are using point, line, or polygon layers.

    Hi,
I have a centroid point layer and want to overlay this with my
    street layer in order to select the nearest intersection to the
    centroid point.  Is there a way to do this in Maptitude 4.8
    outside of GISDK?  I'm not much of a coder, so I was hoping to
    find a way to due this with existing features of Maptitude.  Any
    advice is appreciated!
Thanks Bob
