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.
To create points at a distance/object intersection
- Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys. For more information, see Before You Create Points.
- Home tab

. - Select an object.
- Specify the offset distance by doing one of the following:

- Specify the radial point by doing one of the following:
- Pick a point in the drawing.
- Use Transparent commands to specify the point.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enter a description, or press Enter to skip the description.
- Enter an elevation for the point, or press Enter to skip the elevation.
Note
Many factors affect how the point is displayed. For more information, see Controlling the Appearance of Points in a Drawing.
