title: How to automate the finding of an M value along a route
body: <p>Kirk Kuykendall had given a script example a few years back in an ESRI forum <a href="http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&amp;f=996&amp;t=88246&amp;mc=4" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&amp;f=996&amp;t=88246&amp;mc=4</a> as to how to find the M (measure) value of a point in a shapefile along a route when you clicked on the point.  This is very handy, BUT..I have 1500 points that I need M values for. Is there a way to automate this type of thing? I need the M values for the points to create linear events on the route.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I am not a programmer, but have people who can help me out.</p>
