Bug

Calibration logic is confusing when performing linear referencing tasks on multipart route features, where the M's are distributed in opposite directions.

Additional Information

We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle.  If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.

Workaround

To workaround this – try one or either of the following:1) Drop the M’s from the input Route Feature so that M values will all be NaN. This will prevent the calibration code getting confused. Then run the calibration again – and you’ll get your expected results (1st screenshot).2) Use the Calibration Tool DIRECTLY on the line FC instead of the Route FC. The Calibrate Routes tool will take a Line as input (instead of the RouteFC) – this way the M’s will be assigned based on these calibration points right away.
