FAQ

How do I create a point at the intersection of a line and arc in XyzPilot?

Use Point/Intof,L,A with the line reference, arc reference, and direction selector. The arc must intersect the line within its sweep angles.

Full Answer

Use Point/Intof,L,A. Unlike a full circle, an arc has defined start and end angles — only intersections within the arc sweep are valid. The direction selector specifies which intersection to create.

XyzPilot Example

L0 = Horizontal line at Y=10
A0 = Arc: centre(0,0), r=20, 0 to 180 CCW

Point/XLarge, Intof, L0, A0
→ P0 = (17.321, 10)   [right intersection — within sweep]

Point/XSmall, Intof, L0, A0
→ P1 = (-17.321, 10)  [left intersection — within sweep]
