Locate polygon features along routes

Finds the route and measure information at the geometric intersection of the input polygon layer and the route layer and creates a line event table.  The output table will contain a route identifier, the FROM and TO measures of the route on which each polygon was located. If a polygon intersects more than one route multiple records will be created in the output table for this polygon. The wizard allows the resulting data to be added to the map as a line 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 Polygon feature layer which features will be located on the routes

Output:

• A dbf table with event record for each intersection of a polygon with a route. 
• The dbf table will contain all the original fields of the polygon dataset
• Three new fields will be added
  • [ET_KYE] - the route identifier field. The values will correspond to the route on which each polygon was located
  • [ET_FromM] - the FROM measure of each intersection
  • [ET_ToM] - the TO measure of each intersection

Notes:

• If the option to add the result as an event layer, an additional field will be available
  • [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.
