Hi all,
I've got what I would imagine is a relatively unique challenge. I have a route layer that I've created and calibrated with a series of other layers. I can currently take any GPS co-ordinate and convert it to a mileage. Now what I need to do is to take this route layer and export it so that others can see it in a table format (CSV, SQL, etc).
In case this sounds confusing, I'll try to explain it another way: I'm trying to take a route layer (where I can only see the mileage by using the "Identify Route Location" tool) and make it such that I can I have a table that looks like the attached table below.
I would imagine that there should be a way to simply export the route in order to do this, but any method to achieve the table below should be fine. It is important to note that I need the mileage to increase at a steady rate (ideally 0.001 miles but there is some flexibility).
I hope what I'm asking for is clear, but if not please let me know below and I will attempt to clarify Thanks in advance!

all assumes an appropriate license level to perform the first step
Thanks Dan,
Any advice for if you can't convert your densified polyline to a point file? (I have a standard license, and I believe that tool requires an advanced license)
Thanks,
Zach
yes... but it is a workaround that I have blogged about.
FeatureClassToNumPyArray with the fields you want and the densified features exploded to points
Numpyarraytofeatureclass to get it back to a point file
But I would have done all the work in Numpy in any event
At my operations, we have collectors that submit data in Lat/Long from GPS, phones and other devices. I too use a linear route system, Dan Patterson (suggestion has got me intrigued never thought about doing it that way). But to get back to your question...I have a requirement that each lat/long must have a "Route" number associated to it. With that, I had to develop a program that would:
I use ArcObject along with dot Net programming to accomplish this.
Although I have never tried...but theoretically you could perform all the steps manually without any special licensing....I know arc-objects honors all licensing and this bit I use that follows the above steps uses only that that is found with a standard GIS license. (If the models would accept Linear Referencing techniques like returning the measure...this could be incorporated within a model).... but alas the modeling tools do not.
