Lets say I have a polyline that covers a road, and on that road there are multiple stoppage points represented by another layer (point layer), how can I segment that 1 polyline to autocut to the closest point in its vicinity? (the points are not always overlayed exactly ontop of the polyline).

 

Here is an example

 

So for this 1 polyline I am trying to get 11 pollines where it would break at each dot.

The point on line overlayer will chop your line with points. There is a tolerance setting which will handle points not sitting exactly on the line
