To select a central point (or centroid) that minimizes the distance to other points, based on another polyline layer in ArcMap, you can use a combination of tools in ArcToolbox. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
### Step 1: Prepare Your Data
1. **Load Your Data**: Ensure you have both your point layer (the central points you want to evaluate) and the polyline layer you will use to derive distances.
### Step 2: Calculate Distances
2. **Buffer the
