Point: Angle and Distance
Add a point that is located at a specified angle and distance from another point.
Properties
Specify the following parameters in the Properties panel.
| Point | |
| Point Number | Specifies the point number. You can change the automatically generated Point Number value. |
| Point Codes | Specifies the codes assigned to the point. |
| Point Geometry Type | |
| Type | Specifies the point type: |
| Point Geometry Properties | |
| From Point | Specifies the point to which the other geometry property values are relative. |
| Reference Point | Specifies the point that, with the From Point, forms the baseline from which the Angle is relative. |
| Reverse Angle Reference | Reverses the Angle, drawing the point in the opposite direction. |
| Angle | Specifies the angle from the baseline created between the From Point and Reference Point. Note: If Reference Point is set to None, the Angle is from the positive Distance value. a positive angle value is drawn counterclockwise from the Distance, and a negative value is drawn clockwise from the Distance.
Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value. |
| Distance | Specifies the distance to which the point is located from the From Point towards the Angle. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value. |
| Auto Add Link | |
| Auto Link To From Point | Draws a link from the point specified in the From Point row to the current point. |
| Name | Specifies the name of the link. |
| Codes | Specifies the codes assigned to the link. |
| Miscellaneous | |
| Comment | Indicates notes about the point. Comments can be displayed in the Preview panel. |
