The number of points required per line is a value in the attribute table. Points need to be evenly space with a point at the beginning and at the end of each line. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have almost 5000 lines to cycle through with any where between 2 and 50+ points per line. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am running arcgis 10.1.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 17 Jul 2013 16:34:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-script-to-construct-points-on-a-polyline/m-p/681034#M52768 BrendanQuigley 2013-07-17T16:34:08Z Re: Python Script to construct points on a polyline https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-script-to-construct-points-on-a-polyline/m-p/681035#M52769 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Check out the positionAlongLine property of the polyline geometry object.
