To Create Points at an Object/Object Intersection

Creates a point at the intersection of lines, arcs, plot lines, or feature lines.

If the objects do not intersect, the command extends either object to determine the intersection point. A point is offset from the intersection of two objects.

1. Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys.
2. Click Home tabCreate Ground Data panelPoints menuCreate Points - IntersectionsObject/Object.
3. Select an object.
4. Specify the offset distance by doing one of the following:
   • Enter a distance.
   • Pick a point in the drawing.
   • Use Transparent commands to specify a point to define the offset.
5. Select the second object.
6. Specify the offset distance by doing one of the following:
   • Enter a distance.
   • Pick a point in the drawing.
   • Use Transparent commands to specify a point to define the offset.

   In the drawing, an X marks each intersection point. If only one intersection is located then the point is automatically created.

7. Specify the intersection point by doing one of the following:
   • Click near the X on which you want to create the point.
   • Enter A to place points at both intersections.
8. Enter a description, or press Enter to skip the description.
9. Enter a level for the point, or press Enter to skip the level.

Note: Many factors affect how the point is displayed. For more information, see To Control the Appearance of Points in a Drawing.
