I figured out my issue when I was able to get into the lab and pull up some of their existing data. While I was working on my program at home I was working with a polyline shapefile that I found myself on the usgs website. I suspected that was part of my issue, since it was specifying m awareness in the error message. When I worked on arc at my lab I was using polyline zm data, that seemed to fix the problem that I was running into. Looking back I might have able to circumvent the problem if I tried creating a route with the data I pulled from the internet using create routes in the linear referencing tools. I was pretty zeroed in on following the instructions that I was given from my supervisor though, and it wasn't till I was exploring the zm polyline shapefile that it occurred to me to that I hadn't tried that. Sorry if the previous message was vague, I appreciate this dialogue, and I am really excited to be making and using a map form data that I collected! This has been a personal goal for a long time, since arcgis started showing up on job fliers a lot after I graduated form college. Geoff

Thank you, your advice was wasn't helpful with my problem, but I appreciate that you at least took the time to engage with a novice at Arc. I figured the issue out on my own eventually. Thank you for your time. Geoff

Hello! I am biologist who has been teaching himself how to use arcmap. My place of employment just gave me a simple task, create a map of a river, and find distances between sites that were sampled along the river. They provided written instructions, and I would like to complete the task over the weekend. ' Right now I am stuck on the route editing tool. When I try to use make route, it states that there are no acceptable targets, make route creates m aware polylines. Can anyone provide me the solution to this problem? I acquired flowline data from NHD, which I have been using as the base for my map.
