Split Line into Segments Using Multiple Points on that Line

[EdwardL]

I have 2 files. One is a linear file that represents a transit line. The other is a point file that represents stations on that line.

I want to split the line into multiple segments using the point locations. Each segment would represent a section between stations on the transit line.

How can I accomplish this? Please let me know. I’d appreciate it.

You could use Split Line at Point (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation (Requires Advanced license of ArcGIS Pro/ ArcMap).

Thanks for the reply.

So I tried that tool using a stations file that had 30 points. The output ended up being only 2 segments.

I was very confused and I’m still not sure why it did that. I was expecting more segments.

I believe the points might not be exactly coinciding with the line features.

Define a Search radius (maybe 10 meters or as you feel appropriate).

Huh, I didn’t think about that. I’ll try playing around with the search radius and let you know if it works.

Thanks again for the help!
