This tool is used to create a CAD Point by an Offset Intersection, located at the intersection of two offset segments, either line or arc segments.
The video below will show how to create a CAD Intersection of two offset segments.
Or continue down the page to see the CAD Intersection Two Offset Segments create options.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/1125402531″ css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”5″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This CAD Intersect 2 Offset Segments option is found on the CAD Intersection Toolbar, and is the 2nd option when the toolbar files out.
Or from the menu, Use: CAD => Intersection => 2 Offset Segments[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2624″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The information panel will show that you have selected a line snap. Then accept the segment.

Note: Remember that a positive offset is to the right and a negative offset is to the left.

Pick with direction the second segment to offset, and accept the segment.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2627″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After the segment is accepted, enter the offset value for the intersection point to be created. For this example we will use a zero (0) offset to line the new point up with the edge of the house.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2636″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After the second offset has been entered and the <Enter> key has been hit, the new intersection point will appear on the screen.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2629″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”5″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Use the Measure Bearing/Distance option to check the newly created point.
