The Bearing-Distance Intersect command prompts the user for a
base point from which the known bearing intersects. It then defines
the bearing by one of three methods. The bearing can be defined by
picking two points, selecting a line with the same bearing or by
typing in the bearing in the form of Qdd.mmss (similar to the
Locate by Bearing command). Next the user is prompted for a
base point from which the known distance radiates. After entering
the known distance a circle is drawn radiating from the selected
base point, and a line defined by the bearing is extended to
intersect the circle. The user then picks the correct point for the
solution desired and a point symbol is located at the selected
intersection. The command then erases the temporary circle and
line. The Options choice allows you to be prompted for angle method
or for offsets, or both.
When a grid projection for the drawing is defined under Drawing
Setup, this command will prompt for whether to use the grid bearing
or geodetic mean, forward or back bearing. Also, the program will
prompt for whether to use the grid or geodetic distance.
