- click Inverse button
in the Toolbar
- click COGO -> Inverse in Main Menu
Inverse Function
The inverse function computes the distance and azimuth between
points of the job in the Ground/Grid/Datum coordinate systems. This
function allow you to calculate these parameters between:
• any two points
• a point and a set of points (if the points have names)
• the start and end points of a selected line’s segment or a
horizontal alignment of a road
To calculate the distance and azimuth between points, take the
following steps:
1. Click the Inverse icon from the Report tab of the
MAGNET Tools ribbon. The Inverse window
displays.
2. Specify the desired points in the From
/ To fields of the Inverse
dialog box.
3. Click the Calculate button
on the Inverse window to start
calculating the distance and azimuth between selected points. All
calculated values will be displayed and stored in the Inverse tab
.
