Mark a position along a line.

GregRieck

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to mark a position along a line with a marker symbol contained in a custom style?

How do I find the custom marker symbol and assign it to the point location along the line?

Are you meaning you want nodes to show a marker or are you meaning you want a point that snaps to the line at a specific position that may be anywhere you want along the line.  Nodes (other than the ends of the line) have to be exported or extracted as points to have a marker.  Linear Referencing works well for the second option.  Marker symbols can be found in the predefined groups or built from fonts, pictures, etc.  So that also depends on what marker you want.  Representations are another option.  What does the point represent?  Is the marker a permanent feature or just a graphic inside the map?  So please clarify what you are wanting to do.

What language do you want this programmed in and how do you envision the program interacting with the user.  Anything ArcMap can do can be done in ArcObjects if you can break down the interfaces needed, but not all processes are easily devined.
