I'm using ArcGIS 10.1. I have a trail network that I'm trying to establish signs along the trails every 0.20 miles. Is there a way to create the point file from the line feature?

This has got to be simple, I just haven't figured it out yet. I really appreciate any help!

Jen

Your line doesn't happen to have vertices at these 0.20 mile intervals does it? – Baltok Nov 16 '12 at 15:10
Have you considered using a Linear Referencing method? – RyanDalton Nov 16 '12 at 16:13
I actually just figured it out. In Editor, there's a "construct points" which you can input a distance. I didn't see that until just now. Thank you both for your help!!!! – Jen Nov 16 '12 at 17:56

The built-in Editor tool to Construct Points will do one selected line at a time when using a specified distance. ET GeoWizards has the free point function Station Points that will create points at specified distance for all lines.
