To Create an Arc/Whole Circle Bearing Junction

You can find the intersection points between an arc and a line that is established by a point, whole circle bearing, and offset.

To calculate the intersection of an arc and a line determined by a whole circle bearing 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 Intersection menu Arc/Whole Circle Bearing.
3. Enter the point number of the arc center.
4. Enter the radius of the arc.
5. Enter the starting point number of the line.
6. Enter the whole circle bearing of the line.
7. Enter an offset.
8. Enter one of the following options:
   • N: To select the northern-most intersection.
   • S: To select the southern-most intersection.
   • E: To select the eastern-most intersection.
   • W: To select the western-most intersection.
   • R: To select the nearest intersection.
   • F: To select the farthest intersection.
   • 1: To select intersection 1.
   • 2: To select intersection 2.
   • A: To select all the intersections.
   • P: To pick the intersection with your pointing device.

To calculate the intersection of an arc and a line determined by a whole circle bearing, 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:

   ARCAZ [point] [radius] [point 1] [whole circle bearing] [offset]

Command Line Example

NE 1 100 100

NE 2 200 200

ARCAZ 2 200 1 50 50

! INTERSECTION # 1 NORTH:274.411634 EAST:385.641883

! INTERSECTION # 2 NORTH:30.099879 EAST:94.482471

Intersections are located between an arc radius of 200 with its center at point 2 and a whole circle bearing of 50.0000 drawn from point 1 with an offset distance of 50 to the right.

Intersection of arc and line determined by whole circle bearing

Command Syntax

ARCAZ [point] [radius] [point 1] [whole circle bearing] [offset]

Parameter	Definition
point	The radial point. This is an existing point that is used as the center point for the arc.
radius	The radial distance in feet or meters for the first arc. Radial distance is the length of a line from the radius point to the arc.
point 1	The existing point from which a vector extends. It can be any type of point including a figure point.
whole circle bearing	The whole circle bearing of the line from the existing point. A whole circle bearing establishes the direction for the vector and is expressed as current angle units.
offset	The distance to offset the intersection.
