FAQ

How do I create a point at the intersection of two arcs in XyzPilot?

Use Point/Intof,A,A with the two arc references and direction selector. Only intersections within both arc sweeps are valid.

Full Answer

Use Point/Intof,A,A. Both arcs have defined start and end angles — only intersections within both arc sweeps are valid results. The direction selector specifies which intersection to create.

XyzPilot Example

A0 = Arc: centre(0,0), r=40, 0 to 90 CCW A1 = Arc: centre(50,0), r=40, 90 to 180 CCW Point/YLarge, Intof, A0, A1 → P0 = (25, 32.016) [upper intersection within both sweeps] If intersection falls outside either arc sweep: → Error: no valid intersection within arc sweeps
