How to place points on polyline (If I know distance value of point)


I have a table with two fields - Road_ID and distance. And also I have a polyline shapefile with roads (wich also has a Road_ID field).

 

How can I make a point shape file according to this data

Hi,

 

 

Merge distance attribute to each shape line (FeatureMerger, Join On: Road_ID), and use the Snipper with these settings.

 

Snipping Mode: Distance (Value)

 

Starting Location: <distance attribute>

 

Ending Location: <distance attribute>
