Locate by Line Bearing

This command calculates and plots a line (if the Line On/Off is set to Line On) and point from an occupied point. The bearing can be defined by picking two points, selecting a line, inputting two point numbers, or typing in a bearing or azimuth. The command always occupies the last point calculated.
