Intersection tools for editing use analytic geometry to create vertices and point features at computed locations, for example, at the midpoint between two coordinate locations. These tools are available on the construction toolbar when a feature construction tool is active.
If ground to grid correction is turned on, ground to grid aware tools scale the distance values and rotate the direction values you type into the tools.
The following diagram illustrates the type of geometric relationships these tools can solve using specified measurements and two known origin locations shown as points A and B:
Tool | Description | Ground to Grid Distance Factor | Ground to Grid Direction Offset |
---|---|---|---|
Distance Distance | Create a point or vertex at the intersection of two distances | ||
Direction Distance | Create a point or vertex at the intersection of a direction and distance | ||
Direction Direction | Create a point or vertex at the intersection of two directions | ||
Intersection | Create a point or vertex at an inferred intersection | ||
Midpoint | Create a point or vertex at the midpoint of two locations |
