Creating a Sketch Point at the Intersection of Two Lines

 

RevWorks creates a line-derived point by calculating the intersection of two digitized lines. The points collected for the lines are projected to the active sketch plane before each line is calculated. The intersection of the lines is then added as a point feature to the sketch. The calculated line features are not added to the sketch.

To Create a Sketch Point at the Intersection of Two Lines

  1. From the RevWorks toolbar, select ,
    or from the RevWorks toolbar right click on any displayed Point icon and choose Sketch Point > 2 Line Intersection,
    or select
    Point > Sketch Point > 2 Line Intersection from the RevWorks menu in SOLIDWORKS.

RevWorks prompts you to begin digitizing the first line.

  1. Digitize a minimum of two points, or digitize more points to generate a greater precision line.

    Note: RevWorks automatically calculates the line feature once you digitize the maximum number of points.

  1. If you collect more than two points, but less than the maximum number of points for a line, select or another completion option to calculate the feature.

RevWorks prompts you to digitize a second line.

  1. Digitize points for a second line, as in step 2.

RevWorks calculates the two lines and creates a point feature at the intersection of the two lines. The point feature is the only item that RevWorks displays on the SOLIDWORKS sketch plane.
