Median Offset

This command creates a median polyline that is offset halfway between two existing polylines. For example, this command can be used to get the center of a river given polylines for the left and right river banks. The intersection method finds where the offsets from the two reference polylines intersect. The Salient and Normal methods come from the CAPD program originally developed by the BLM.
