Intersection of Lines Snap

Use this command to calculate the intersection (or projected intersection) of two lines. If there are several possible intersections, the intersection closest to where the lines were picked is used. No elevation is set using this option.

Note: When snapping to the ‘intersection’ of two lines, if the lines do not actually touch, the intersection is computed by projecting one or both of the lines to their nearest intersection.

Intersection of Lines Snap can be used in these controls:

To use an Intersection of Lines Snap:

  1. While in a coordinate control, right-click in a graphic view, and select Intersection > Intersection of Lines Snap from the context menu. The Intersection of Lines Snap command pane displays.
  2. Pick a line in the view. The line is recorded in the Line 1 box.
  3. Pick another line. The line is recorded in the Line 2 box. The coordinate is recorded, and the command pane returns to the previous command.
