I have a series of polylines, these represent various linear landscape features (Roads, hedges,rivers). I need to convert these to a series of points equally spaced (so hedges a point every 2m, a river a point every 5m etc) in order to model them in a 3D program.
How do I do this? I have done it previous in ArcView 3, but using ArcGIS 9.3 now and lost.
Take a look at the linked ArcGIS help pages on creating points along a line.
Using the editor toolbar in ArcGIS 10:
Creating New Points Along a Line
Using the "Divide" command in ArcGIS 9.3:
Creating new points or lines at an interval along a line
To address this:
"but the color (and by proxy the flow accumulation data) are lost in the final map product due to the small size of the raster cells relative to the other features"
Convert raster data to points, symbolize them on your map that way. Unlike raster, symbols will scale with the view. Alternately, use the raster-reclass tool to reclassify the smaller cells in your raster into a lower-resolution raster (averaging the values of cells in each 'neighborhood') for each cell in the new raster.

in arctoolbox use: editing tools/densify then convert feature vertices to points (data management tools/features)
