You can determine the station and offset distance of an existing point, or group of points, from an existing baseline with the Inverse Point command.
To inverse a point from the Survey Command Window
- In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
- Click Baseline menu
Inverse Point.
- Type the start and end of the point range for which you want the station and offset information. Note: You must define the baseline as a prerequisite.
To inverse a point, 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:
BL INV [point 1] (point 2)

Command Syntax
BL INV [point 1] (point 2)
Parameter | Definition |
---|---|
point 1 | An existing point in the drawing. It does not need to be adjacent to the baseline since the baseline is infinite in length. |
point 2 | Used with point 1 to specify a range of points that you want to list. If you do not specify point 2, then only point 1 is listed. |
