You can create a new point by specifying a station on a baseline, and an offset distance in reference to an existing baseline, with the Station/Offset command.
BL PT (point 1) [station] (offset) (description)
NE 1 1000 1000
STN 1
ZD 2 100 121.92
BL IS 1 2 0
BL PT 3 220 15.24
! POINT 3 NORTH: 946.7889 EAST: 1214.0113 ELEV:<Null>
BL PT 4 270 -15.24
! POINT 4 NORTH: 968.1235 EAST: 1268.5445 ELEV: <Null>
Point 3 is offset a distance of 15.24 to the right of the baseline at Station 2+20 and Point 4 is offset a distance of 15.24 to the left of the baseline at Station 2+70. Distances are in the current units, unless you type a qualifying suffix.

Parameter | Definition |
---|---|
point 1 | The point identifier for the new point. You do not need to assign a point number if auto point numbering is on. |
station | The station location of the assigned point. Type the station in the current distance units. Some examples of station entries are 0, 50, and 100. For example, station 150 indicates that the station is 150 feet or meters along the baseline. |
offset | An optional distance offset from the baseline. |
description | An optional description associated with the point. |
