To Create Points by Geodetic Direction and Distance

From the starting point, enter the geodetic azimuth and the geodesic distance to the location where you want to create the point. To use this command, you must assign a coordinate system to the drawing.

Note: To list the geodetic direction and distance, use the Point Inverse inquiry type. For more information, see To Use the Inquiry Tool.

Point settings, styles, layers, point groups, and description keys can all affect how a point is created or how it is displayed in a drawing.

1. Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys.
2. Set the zone and transformation settings for the drawing.
3. Home tab Create Ground Data panel Points menu Create Points - Miscellaneous Geodetic Direct .
4. Specify a starting point.
5. Enter the geodetic azimuth from the point you previously specified to the location where you want to create the point.
6. Enter the geodesic distance, which is the distance measured from the point you previously specified, to the location where you want to create the point.
7. If prompted, enter the point name, description, and level.
   Note: The options for labeling both the grid and geodetic distance and direction are available in the General Line Label Styles.
8. Press Enter to end the command.

Note: Many factors affect how the point is displayed. For more information, see About Controlling the Appearance of Points in a Drawing.
