Is there an 'Identify Route' tool?

StevenWeaver1 — Wed, 11 Apr 2018 15:41:59 GMT

In ArcGIS Pro 2.1, is there an equivalent to to ArcMap's Identify Route Location?

I checked 'Tools that are not available', and it's not listed. However, I did not find any mention in the ArcGIS Pro 2.1 documentation.

Thanks,

Steven

Not there... I am just wondering if it is one of those things that vanished when they introduced interactive feature input to some of their tools

http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/analysis/geoprocessing/basics/interactive-feature-input.htm

So are you working with a linear referencing tool from its toolset?

I'm working with 'routes' and on occasion, I just want to click on the line and determine what mile point I'm at. For example, with the aerial basemap turned on I want to tell a maintenance worker the mile point where my route cross a stream (no vector, just the imagery). In ArcMap, I could use the 'Identify Route' tool, click on the location and, it would display the mile point. However, in ArcGIS Pro, I'm can't find an 'interactive' (non-geoprocessing) tool.

Thanks,

Steven

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one looking for it. Hey Kory Kramer‌ any thoughts for this?

I don't have time... but apparently, if it exists, it will be here (maybe...)

FOUND IT! now you just have to use it on a tool bar

Hmmm.... I added to tool as Dan suggests, but am now confronted with a different issue. The tool remains grayed out and the mouse-over tip says:

This command is currently disabled.

Available with Location Referencing License

Yet another license to do day to day work?

edited after a google search.... Apparently one needs the ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing Extension now to perform LRS functions....

heeeeyyyy Joe!

The question wasn't whether it worked... it was... where is it ...

my job is done!!!

Well done Dan, many thanks, I owe you a 'virtual' beer. Maybe at a UC, I can make it a real one: c(~) ascii beer mug

sweaver_ca Joe Borgione et al. on this thread. I wanted to follow up to make sure the community is clear on the roadmap for linear referencing. While we have the geoprocessing tools in Pro, we currently do not have the equivalent commands from the ArcMap toolbar. Pipeline Referencing is a new extension for ArcGIS Pro and since that is currently available to customers, there is an Identify Route tool associated with that extension.

There is work to be done on the development side of things to bring linear referencing capabilities to Pro that are equivalent to (and better when possible) ArcMap. The work just hasn't been done yet. So Joe, I don't want this thread to be ended with the misperception that doing your linear referencing work in Pro will now cost you something. It won't. The plan is to provide functionality in Pro that will allow you to complete the linear referencing work that you currently do in ArcMap. We just aren't there yet. Thanks for the patience as this is built out in Pro.

Thanks Kory!

@esri Any update on the roadmap for simple linear referencing tools?

Also, please upvote this idea I found: Port "Identify Route Locations" and "Set From/To" Linear Referencing Tools from ArcGIS 10.x to ArcGIS Pro

Hey there Steven, I did my best to recreate the Set From/To and Identify Route Locations tools as an ArcGIS Pro Add-in. You can find it here: GitHub - TxDOT/Pro-LRS-Tools: Linear referencing tools for ArcGIS Pro

This is the first iteration, so any feedback would be much appreciated!

One year later, has there been any progress on this?

Re: Is there an 'Identify Route' tool?

KoryKramer — Thu, 02 May 2019 15:08:00 GMT

I think that there has been progress on this for the Pro 2.4 release. I haven't checked it myself but I hear that we'll be able to identify M values for a clicked location using the Explore tool.

John,

Thanks for the link to your Git Hub and, I viewed the Powerpoint presentation.

Best regards,

Steve

We're at 2.4.2. Is the Find Route tool getting close?

@_____ Is there any update on this. Still not available in AGP as of 2.6 at the end of 2020. I'd like to advocate using AGP in our organization but tools that are still MIA is preventing it: ArcMap Abú.

Still not here @end of 2020

Updating this old thread for tracking and community documentation.

At ArcGIS Pro 2.4, the Navigation > Explore tool included this enhancement. You can view m-values in a pop-up for a feature that contains measured values (m-values) in their geometries. The coordinate display at the bottom of the pop-up includes the m-value closest to the clicked location in the map or scene. For linear geometries, the value is calculated by interpolating between the nearest vertices.

Pop-ups for M-aware features

So, 2.9 has been released and has a number of LRS updates associated with it, but again, it seems it's still only under the Pipeline Referencing System. I know it was mentioned before that the LRS creation and modification was going to be implemented at some point as it was in ArcMap so we can create, modify and edit our LRS systems we have without having to pay for a separate license.

Is this still the plan or has it now just been incorporated into a new cost? We are still having to use ArcMap for all LRS editing functions at this point and was hoping 2.9 would have introduced what ArcMap had in regardles to all LRS editing functionality (such as "drop Measures", "Set as Distance", "Apply Factor", "Identify Route Measure", etc)...
