Intersection of Offset Lines Snap
Use this command to calculate the intersection of offsets from two lines or arcs. The offsets are projected from the entire lines or arcs, rather than just line or arc segments. From the end of the line closest to where it was picked, looking to the other end, positive offsets are to the right and negative offsets are to the left of the line.
You can also calculate the intersection of offsets from two horizontal alignments (HALs).
Intersection of Offset Lines Snap is used in these controls:
To use an Intersection of Offset Lines Snap:
- While in a coordinate control, right-click in a graphic view, and select Intersection > Intersection of Offset Lines Snap from the context menu. The Intersection of Offset Segments Snap command pane displays.
- Pick a line in the view. The line is recorded in the Line 1 box.
- Pick a point offset from the line, or type a value in the Offset 1 box. For the offsets, you can enter a negative or positive offset distance from the line.
- Pick a second line. The line is recorded in the Line 2 box.
- Pick a point offset from the second line, or type a value in the Offset 2 box. The coordinate is recorded, and the command pane returns to the previous command.
