Creates a point either at the intersection of a direction line and an alignment or at a point offset from the intersection.
Specify values by picking points in the drawing, using transparent commands, or entering values at the command line.
Create a point that is offset from the intersection of a direction and an alignment by selecting a direction line and then specifying the offset from the direction line and the offset from the alignment.
To create points at a direction/alignment intersection
- Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys. For more information, see Before You Create Points.
- Home tab
Create Ground Data panel Points menu Create Points - Intersections Direction/Alignment 
. - Select an alignment object.
- 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.
- Specify the start point by doing one of the following:
- Pick a point in the drawing.
- Use Transparent commands to specify the point.
- Specify the direction from the start point by doing one of the following:
- Pick a point in the drawing.
- Use Transparent commands to define the point.
- Enter Z, and then enter the azimuth of the direction line.
- Enter B, and then specify the quadrant and the bearing.
- 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.
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.
