An overview of creating route feature classes
Release 9.3 Last modified February 24, 2009	Print all topics in : "Creating route feature classes"

A route is a linear feature that stores a unique identifier and contains measure coordinates (m's). Routes can be stored in coverages, shapefiles, or geodatabases (which is the preferred method for storing and managing routes).




ArcCatalog and ArcToolbox contain tools for creating new route feature classes in shapefiles and geodatabases.

In addition to the ability to create new route feature classes for subsequent digitizing or importing, there are tools for creating routes by merging existing line features, calibrating route data with points, and migrating route data from one format to another.
