I recieved a shapefile today to enhance the accuracy of my data as an addition to a shapefile of point features that I already have. I was told that this is 'routing data'. I can use Map Suite Explorer and visualize the files together and everything is where it should be. I am able to load the files and have the correct projection in my application as well.
The points are highway reference posts and the linear data are the calibrated lines of highways. My goal is to get the X and Y of post 113.5 (or 113.2, etc) along my line which is between points 113 and 114 in my point shapefile. My point file has only the integer values of the posts and not the tenths. If there is a (better) way to do this using standard TIGER/Line shapefiles I would be happy to use them instead. Independant of using TIGER or ArcGIS linear data, how would I determine the point, along the line, at the specified fraction of a distance between points on the line?
Thanks for your help!
