To Create Points at a Distance/Object Intersection

Creates a point at the intersection of an object and a radial distance.

Specify values by picking points in the drawing, using transparent commands, or entering values at the command line. Points are offset from the intersection of an object and a radial distance.

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/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. Specify the radial point by doing one of the following:
   • Pick a point in the drawing.
   • Use Transparent commands to specify the point.
6. Specify the radius by doing one of the following:
   • Enter a radius value.
   • Pick a point in the drawing.
   • Use Transparent commands to specify the radius.

   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 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 About Controlling the Appearance of Points in a Drawing.
