Distance-Distance Intersect

This command creates a point at the distance-distance intersection from two base points. The program prompts for two distances and two base points. The two possible intersections (A,B) are shown on the screen. You can either pick near the desired intersection or type in the letter A or B. The A intersection is clockwise from the first point. The Options choice brings up a small dialog that 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, the program will prompt for whether to use the grid or geodetic distances.
