Create Station Points Wizard

Creates equally spaced points based on the source polyline layer and the user specified distance between the points.

Inputs:

• A polyline feature layer
• Distance between stations
• Output spatial reference

Outputs:

• New Point feature class with points distributed along the input polylines based on the user specified distance between the stations
• The attributes of the original polylines are preserved
• The following fields are added to the point attribute table
  • [ET_ID] - the FID of original polylines. 
  • [ET_IDP] - this is a unique number identifying each part of the polylines. If a polyline  with FID = 356 has 3 parts, the corresponding points will have values in this fields 356_0, 356_1 and 356_2. 
  • [ET_X] - the X coordinates of the resulting points
  • [ET_Y] - the Y coordinates of the resulting points
  • [ET_Angle] - the angle of the polyline in this point.
  • [ET_Station] - the distance from the start point of the polyline to this point

Notes:

• The distance is measured in the units of the output spatial reference
• The default output spatial reference is the one of the input polyline dataset
• The user can specify a different output spatial reference, but it has to have the same Geographic Coordinate System as the one of the input dataset
