stationPoints

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

Inputs:

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

Command line syntax

ET_GPStationPoints <input_dataset> <out_feature class> <station_distance> {out_spatial_reference}

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
<input_dataset>	A Plyline feature class or feature layer
<out_feature class>	A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist)
<station_distance>	A Double representing the step with which the points will be stationed on the input polylines
{out_spatial_reference}	The spatial reference in which the calculations will be performed. If not specified the spatial reference of the input dataset will be used.
