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 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.
