Problem: looking for the shortest line between a point and a collection of other lines

Is there a VBA solution for such a problem? I could start concentric circles form the point until they intersect with a line but I am wondering if a solution already exists, thanks.

Hi,

I would go through all lines, calculate the shortest vector

• your point to a point vertical to your line
• in case the calculated vertical is not on the line (between line's start- and endpoint), then the closer endpoint
