MJ RP  General iGage Information

 

The Point-to-Point Distance/Bearing Tool

The 'Point-to-Point Distance Tool' will show a line between two points, while displaying the:

  • Great Circle Distance
  • True Azimuth
  • Magnetic Azimuth
  • UTM Grid Distance and Bearing
  • State Plane Grid Distance and Bearing

between the points.

To display the distance between two points, select the Bombsight or Drag Hand cursor then right-click at the first point. Choose 'Point to Point Distance: .

From Cursor' then move the cursor to the second point, right-click and choose 'Point to Point Distance: To Cursor'. (You can use the Point-to-Point Distance tool to measure the distance and bearing between two annotations by selecting 'Point to Point Distance: From/To Annotation'.) All Topo will compute the distance and show the results:

If the ‘Show’ checkbox is checked, All Topo will show the projection line with green and red annotations at the line’s endpoints.

The Point-to-Point Distance tool uses the system's default settings.

  • Before using the Point-to-Point Distance tool, set the Measurement Spike distance units, as they are honored by the Point-to-Point-Distance tool.
  • The Point-To-Point Distance Tool uses the UTM and State Plane Zone Code from the 'Primary Coordinate Display'. You can double click on the Primary Coordinate Display to reach the configuration screen.
