===Point - Intersect Arc and Line (Shortcut A, L)===

|Create a new node along a line at a distance from an axis node
|-
|
|This tool is similar to above mentioned tool '''Point - Length to Line'''.
First select two points of a line to create a virtual axis. Then select the centerpoint of a circle and define the radius. A new node will be created at the crosspoint of the axis and the radius.
First select a starting point from which your length will be measured. Than select two points of a line. The new node will be created on the extention of your selected line.

|'''Important note:'''If the radius is to small no point will be created. This could break your design if you rely on the created node for further tool.

*Name: Name of the new node
*Center of arc: Center point of arc. The radius will start from this point. It's the '''third''' point you selected
*1st line point: Starting point of the line to extend. It's the '''first''' point you selected
*2nd line point: Endpoint of the line to extend. It's the '''second''' point you selected
*Radius: You can define a fixed length or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values.
