You can find the point of intersection between two infinite lines from existing points.
After an intersection is found, you can save it by specifying a new point number.
To calculate an azimuth/azimuth intersection in the Survey Command Window
- In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
- Click Intersections menu
Azimuth/Azimuth. - Enter the starting point number of the first azimuth.
- Enter the azimuth from that point.
- Enter an offset.
- Enter the starting point number of the second azimuth.
- Enter the azimuth from that point.
- Enter an offset.
To calculate an azimuth/azimuth intersection, using the survey command language
- In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
- At the Command line, enter:
AZAZ [point 1] [azimuth 1] [offset 1] [point 2] [azimuth 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 an azimuth of 50.000 drawn from point 1 with an offset distance of 10 to the right, and an azimuth of 183.3333 drawn from point 2 with an offset distance of 20 to the left.
Command Syntax
AZAZ [point 1] [azimuth 1] [offset 1] [point 2] [azimuth 2] [offset 2]
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| point 1, point 2 | The existing point identifiers defining the beginning of the azimuths |
| azimuth 1, azimuth 2 | The azimuths for the lines from the existing points (point 1 and point 2). Azimuths 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. |
