Locating a Fixed Distance Along a Spline

Locating a Fixed Distance Along a Spline

Locating a Fixed Distance Along a Spline

(OP)
I use the routing add on to create large electrical harnesses. On some of these harnesses I use the covering option to cover segments of the harness with extra layers. This being said, to distinguish the section I want to have the extra layering I split the route at the start and end points and cover this portion between split point.

What I would like to be able to do is find a method to accuratly define the location of the split points. I.E. I know that I want my covering to start at 45" from the start of the route (which is by no means a linear route). Is there a way without trial and error that I can locate this split point along the route at a set distance as described?

Thanks for any help!
Nicole
