1. Any of the features converted from CAD could be turned into events. For example, Culverts were converted from CAD to a Geodatabase Feature Class. Once converted they could be passed into Locate Features Along Route Geoprocessing tool to acquire route and measure information and loaded into a Culverts Event Layer.
2. In addition the converted culverts could be loaded into Roadway Characteristics Editor as a redline feature and converted to an event as well.
3. Or I could directly load the CAD file into Roadway Characteristics Editor and place the culverts as events based on an overlaid CAD file.
