This seems like such a basic task, but I can't find a simple straight forward way to accomplish it:
We have a route enabled (m values enabled) "ROADS" feature class. We routinely need to update an associated "MILESTONES" layer, by placing milestones (point features) at specific route intervals (every 1 KM, based on measurements, not distance). There's a few ways of accomplishing this, the main one being:
(1) Creating new records in a separate table, with the required "FromKM" "ToKM" fields.
(2) Runnig the "make route" tool.
(3) Adding the outcome to the final MILESTONES feature class.
But there has to be a better way...isn't there? Specifically, a way of doing it without requiring to move data between separate layers. I'm aware of the "Add Point Event Tool (that comes with the linear referencing license) but that tool doesn't create a point feature, rather a point event.
