To Create Points at a Distance/Alignment Intersection

Creates a point at the intersection of a distance line and an alignment.

The intersection is located where the radial distance from a specified point crosses the alignment.

1. Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys.
2. Home tab Create Ground Data panel Points Menu Create Points - Intersections Distance/Alignment .
3. Select an alignment 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. Specify the radial point by doing one of the following:
   • Pick a point in the drawing.
   • Use Transparent commands to specify the point.

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

6. Specify the radius 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.
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 an elevation for the point, or press Enter to skip the elevation.

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