2-circle point intersection
---------------------------

To find the intersection point of two circles, click the
|circleIntersection| :sup:`2-circle Point Intersection` icon.
This will open a dialog where you can define the parametaers for
:guilabel:`Circle #1` and :guilabel:`Circle #2`.
The :guilabel:`X` and :guilabel:`Y` coordinates for both circles are automatically calculated
based on your clicks on the map canvas.
You will need to enter the distance :guilabel:`d` for each circle, the tool will then calculate
and display the two intersection points of the circles.
To add a vertex at the intersection of two circles, follow these steps:

#. Click the |circleIntersection| :sup:`2-circle Point Intersection` icon in the
|extractVertices| :sup:`Construction Tools` drop-down menu.
#. A dialog will open where you can define the parameters for
:guilabel:`Circle #1` and :guilabel:`Circle #2`.
#. Click on the map canvas, and the tool will automatically calculate the
:guilabel:`X` and :guilabel:`Y` coordinates for the centers of both circles.
#. Enter the distance :guilabel:`d` for each circle.
#. The tool will calculate and display the two intersection points of the circles.
#. Click one of the intersection points to add the new vertex.
