To Create a New Point by Station Offset

You can create a new point using an offset from a station on the current centerline.

Note: For parameter descriptions, see the Quick Reference tab.

To create a point by station offset in the Survey Command Window

1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
2. Click Centerline menu Station/Offset.
3. Enter the point identifier of the point you want to create.
   Note: If Auto point numbering is on, then the next point number is displayed.
4. Enter the station of the new point. The station can be a positive or a negative value.
5. Enter the offset of the new point. The offset can be a positive or a negative value.
6. Optionally, enter a description for the point.

To create a point at an offset, using the survey command language

1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
2. At the Command line, enter:

   CL PT (point 1) [station] (offset) (skew angle) (description)

Command Line Example

BEGIN CL1

NE 1 1000 1000

NE 2 1000 1500

NE 3 1300 1700

END

CL IS CL1

CL PT 100 200

! POINT 100 NORTH: 1000.0000 EAST: 1200.0000 ELEV: <Null>

CL PT 101 450 -91.44

! POINT 101 NORTH: 1091.4400 EAST: 1450.0000 ELEV: <Null>

102 600 152.4 50

! POINT 102 NORTH: 931.7283 EAST: 1572.2198 ELEV: <Null>

Point 100 is located at station 200 with a zero offset. Point 101 is located at station 450 with a left offset distance of 91.44. Point 102 is located at station 600 with a right offset distance of 152.4 and a skew angle of 50.

Note:

The point 102 input uses the Ditto command. Angles and distances are in the current units, unless you type a qualifying suffix.
