To Create Points at a Direction/Direction Intersection

Creates a point at the intersection of two directions, each defined by a point and a quadrant bearing or whole circle bearing.

Create a point at the intersection by specifying the offset distance from each direction line.

  1. Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys.
  2. Home tab Create Ground Data panel Points menu Create Points - Intersections Direction/Direction .
  3. Specify the start point by doing one of the following:
    • Pick a point in the drawing.
    • Use Transparent commands to specify the point.
  4. Specify the direction from the start point by doing one of the following:
    • Pick a point in the drawing.
    • Use Transparent commands to specify the second point.
    • Enter Z. Enter the whole circle bearing of the direction line.
    • Enter B. Specify the quadrant and the quadrant bearing.
  5. Specify the offset distance by doing one of the following:
    • Enter a distance.
    • Pick a point in the drawing to define the offset.
    • Use Transparent commands to specify a point to define the offset.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 to define the second direction line.
  7. Enter a description, or press Enter to skip the description.
  8. Enter a level for the point, or press Enter to skip the level.
Note: Many factors affect how the point is displayed. For more information, see About Controlling the Appearance of Points in a Drawing.
