Tip:

Dynamic segmentation performance is improved with the use of an attribute index on the route identifier field in both the event table and the route reference.

Tip:

Event layers are saved as layer files (.lyr). The next time you open this file in ArcMap, the dynamic segmentation process will automatically be performed for you.

Tip:

It is possible to have the advanced dynamic segmentation options applied to subsequent ArcMap sessions. This can be done by checking the Apply these settings to all subsequent ArcMap sessions check box on the Advanced Route Events Options dialog box.
