Intersection Workflow

Sample workflow for an intersection between two straight lines:

  1. In Infrastructure Application Extension, in the Construction toolbar, click Intersection.
  2. In the map, select element 1. The element, with its determining points P1 and P2, is highlighted in the drawing.
  3. Select element 2. The element, with P3 and P4, is highlighted. The Intersection dialog box is displayed.
  4. In the dialog box, select the feature class in which to store the intersection point.
  5. Click Save Inters. 1 to store the point in the database.

    You can now quit or calculate other intersections.

  6. Click New to reset the intersection parameters. You can now select new elements in the map.
  7. Select element 1.
  8. Select element 2.

    After you select element 2, the Intersection dialog box becomes active again. Use the dialog box to modify the intersection parameters.

  9. In the Intersection 1 row, click to switch to Tangential mode.
  10. Enter a radius for the tangent to be calculated.
  11. Click Calculate to calculate the tangent with the modified parameters.
  12. Click Show Next to show all possible locations of the tangential arc.
  13. Select the feature class in which to store the tangent.
  14. Click Save Inters. 1 to store the arc in the database.
