All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class CreateRoutes
extends AbstractGPTool

Creates routes from existing lines. The input line features that share a common identifier are merged to create a single route. The Create Routes tool is contained in the Linear Referencing Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• The unique values in the Route Identifier Field are written to Output Route Feature Class.
• Use the or tools to effectively reduce the number of lines that will be used to create routes.
• If the Output Route Feature Class will be written to a geodatabase, an appropriate , , and should be set.
• Use a Measure Factor to convert between route measure units. For example, to convert from feet to miles, use a factor of 0.00018939394.
• Use a Measure Offset in applications where the start measure of each route needs to be a value other than 0.
• The Ignore spatial gaps parameter is not used when the TWO_FIELDS Measure Source option has been specified. This is because measure values are dictated by the From-Measure Field and To-Measure Field values.
• When the LENGTH or ONE_FIELD Measure Source option is used, the Coordinate Priority is determined by placing the minimum bounding rectangle around the input features that will be merged to create one route.
• When the TWO_FIELDS Measure Source option is used, it is not necessary to specify a coordinate priority because measure direction is implied by the values in the From-Measure Field and the To-Measure Field.
• An attribute index on the route identifier field speeds up the dynamic segmentation process. If you will be using the Output Route Feature Class for , it is recommended that you choose to have an attribute index created.
• If any features are rejected by the Create Routes tool, a text file is created in the temporary file path to store information about those features. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\patrickb\Local Settings\Temp\Create_Output0.txt (where Create_Output is the name of the output route feature class).
• The environment setting will be ignored. The Output Route Feature Class will have M (measure) values.
