Hello RHUG,
Much of my work at the New York State DOT currently centers around using Roads and Highways. This past week, I've been going through a former colleague's notes on some routes that need edited. His notes include a route ID and the mileage of where the issue is present. Given that some of our routes are > 40 miles and that most of the edits are in urban areas, I've been spending way more time panning the map than seemed reasonable.
I was hopeful that there was built-in functionality to zoom the map to a specified route ID and mileage, but I can't find anything. So I built an ArcGIS Python Toolbox to accomplish this task.
