Distance -- Offset
This function enables you to calculate
the distance and offset values of an
offset point from a line defined by two
points, the bearing and distance of
the baseline, the location of the offset
point in relation to the baseline and
the bearing from the offset point to
the baseline.
Enter the start and end point of the
line or press NEWOC (F5) to
measure new points. Enter the offset
point.
Press COMP (F1) to start the
computation.
The Distance along the line and the
Perpendicular Distance (Offset) are
displayed.
A negative Perp. Dist (Offset)
indicates that the point lies on the left
hand side of the line P1-P2.
A negative Distance indicates that the
point lies behind the start point of the
line P1-P2.
Press MORE (F5) to display the
bearing and the distance from the
start point to the end point of the
baseline, the location of the offset
point in relation to the baseline and
the bearing from the offset point to
the baseline.
Press CONT (F1) to return to the
COGO\ Offsets menu.
Input:
P1 - Start point of line (E, N, h)
P2 - End point of line (E, N, h)
P3 - Offset point (E, N, h)
Output:
d - Distance
o - Offset (Perpendicular Distance)
