To Create a Whole Circle Bearing/Whole Circle Bearing Junction

You can find the intersection point between two infinite lines from existing points.

After an intersection is found, you can save it by specifying a new point number.

To calculate a whole circle bearing/whole circle bearing intersection 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 Intersections menu Whole Circle Bearing/Whole Circle Bearing.
  3. Enter the starting point number of the first whole circle bearing.
  4. Enter the whole circle bearing from that point.
  5. Enter an offset.
  6. Enter the starting point number of the second whole circle bearing.
  7. Enter the whole circle bearing from that point.
  8. Enter an offset.

To calculate a whole circle bearing/whole circle bearing intersection, 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:

    AZAZ [point 1] [whole circle bearing 1] [offset 1] [point 2] [whole circle bearing 2] [offset 2]

Command Line Example

NE 1 100 100

NE 2 200 200

AZAZ 1 50 10 2 183.3333 -20

! INTERSECTION # 1 NORTH:186.991377 EAST:219.229524

An intersection is located between a whole circle bearing of 50.000 drawn from point 1 with an offset distance of 10 to the right, and a whole circle bearing of 183.3333 drawn from point 2 with an offset distance of 20 to the left.

Command Syntax

AZAZ [point 1] [whole circle bearing 1] [offset 1] [point 2] [whole circle bearing 2] [offset 2]

Parameter Definition
point 1, point 2 The existing point identifiers defining the beginning of the whole circle bearings
whole circle bearing 1, whole circle bearing 2 The whole circle bearings for the lines from the existing points (point 1 and point 2). Whole Circle Bearings establish a direction for each vector and are expressed in current angle units.
offset 1, offset 2 The offsets from the lines. This acts as if the lines are moved X feet or meters to the left or right. An offset to the right is a positive number, and an offset to the left is a negative number. If you do not want an offset, then use zero.
