Hawths Tools Tutorialx

1 Using Hawth’s Tools to Measure Geographic Distances  Hawth’s Tools is an add-on created for ArcGIS that provides a set of spatial analysis tools not included in the ArcGIS software. It’s very useful to have ArcGIS calculate distances between points; this tutorial will show you how to use the Distances between Points feature of Hawth’s Tools. Note: The distances calculated using Hawth’s Tools are “as the crow flies,” and do not represent actual mileage travelled when driving or using other forms of ground transportation.
