Add multiple line events

Available with Location Referencing license.

Characteristics of a route can be represented as a line event with start and end measure information along the route. Use the Add Multiple Line Events tool Add multiple line events to add multiple line events at the same time.

The example in the following workflow demonstrates adding multiple line events.

The following diagram details the route attributes. The route (Route1) has measures from 12 to 15.
