Setting from-/to-measures

The following steps outline how to set a route's measures using the Set From/To option on the Route Measure Editing context menu.

Steps:
  1. Click the Editor menu on the Editor toolbar and click Start Editing.
  2. Click the Edit tool Edit Tool, move the pointer over the route feature you want to remeasure, then double-click the feature.
  3. Right-click the edit sketch, point to Route Measure Editing, then click Set From/To.
  4. Type the from- and to-measure values, choose whether you want to preserve the existing measure schema, then press ENTER. The changes to the measures are applied to the sketch only.
  5. Press F2 or deselect the route feature to finish the sketch.
  6. There are many situations in which you may need to use the Route Measure Editing options more than once to achieve the desired result. For example, you might want the route measures on a new route to be stored in miles. The route feature class, however, has been digitized in feet. An easy solution to this is to first use the Set As Distance option to set the measures in feet. Then the Apply Factor option could be used to convert from feet to miles (the factor would be 1/5,280 or 0.00018939394).
