Locate point features along routes

Finds the route and measure information for the points from a Point layer and creates a point event table. Only the points that are within specified search tolerance of routes will be recorded in the output table. The output table will contain a route identifier and a measure for each point. The wizard allows the resulting data to be added to the map as an event layer or a standalone table.

Inputs:

• A PolylineM feature layer - the routes to be used
• Route Identifier field - the values in this field will be recorded in the output event table
• A Point feature layer which points will be located on the routes
• Search tolerance - only the points that are closer to the route than this tolerance will be written to the output event table

Output:

• A dbf table with event record for each point located. 
• The dbf table will contain all the original fields of the point dataset
• Three new fields will be added
  • [ET_KYE] - the route identifier field. The values will correspond to the route on which each point was located
  • [ET_M] - the measure of each point
  • [ET_Dist] - the distance of the points from the routes

Notes:

• If the option to add the result as an event layer, two additional fields will be available
  • [ET_Angle] -  the normal angle of the route where the event is placed
  • [ET_Error] - indicates whether the event was properly located. If the value in this field indicates some kind of error the shape of the event point will be empty.
