Creating a point at the intersection of two straight lines does not require the lines to actually intersect, however the projected alignment of the two lines must intersect within a reasonable distance.

1. Create at least two lines on the Map.

You can use the standard create   tool to draw two lines (Line 1 and 2) or by bearing and distance.
Hint: Hold the Ctrl key to snap to the tenement corners.

2. From the Enhanced plotting Tools menu select Create a Point at the Intersection of Two Lines. You will need to select from the map two individual lines to intersect as shown below.

3. With your mouse click on the 1st line.  It will be highlighted in Yellow.

4. Click .
5. The system will prompt you to select the 2nd line.
6. The system will automatically create a point at the intersection of the two lines selected as shown below.

Tip - Use the create Polygon tool   to construct a polygon. Hold Ctrl will allow you to snap to the tenement corners and the point created by the line extensions.
