I have a line feature and want to create points along the line at specified intervals.. I can do this with the "Points Along Line" GP Tool... 

BUT I need to record in a field the distance it was created at... 

Example:  I have a line 100 ft and it creates 10 points along the line... I need each point to have a field like "DistanceAlongLine"  and the 10 records would have 100,200,300,400 etc in it.  

Can this be done... As stated I can get  the points but dont know how to get the distance along the line to be put in a field.

The line feature is in meters and I set the distance to 100 ft in the GP Tool... 

.000348 is not reflective of 100ft in meters
