ebd_Ebd145

You can construct a point of intersection between any of the line types in your geometry; line, segment, vector, polygon side or circle.

1.Select ebd_Ebd146 two from the line types listed above.
2.Click the Intersection tool ebd_Ebd147 or select Intersection from the Construct menu.

A new point and label will appear at the intersection. If the lines are segments that do not intersect, a point will be created at the extension of the lines as with line segments AB and CD below.

ebd_Ebd148

If the geometry will never intersect, the selected objects are moved to form the intersection. In the example below, the infinite line and circle become tangent at the newly created point, H.
