How to extend a line

Place the Hack Point past the end of one of the end line segments. The Id Point may be placed anywhere necessary to Id the line. Extending a line can be difficult if the end points are very close or on top of each other. Edit Line may need to be used in this case to move one of the end points.

Parameters

HackLine_image005

 

Maximum offset distance (ground) - The Maximum Offset is used when searching for line segments that fall perpendicular to the digitized hack point. A segment must be within this parameter from the hack point to be considered. This avoids using a line segment for extend information when the hack point is digitized at a location meant to extend the line. Enter ground units (default=10)
