Is there a way to do a bearing intersection snap? I find I need something like this very often, especially when dealing with curves.

Could you create a dummy line at that bearing and then create a point at the intersection of the lines?

Could you not use the intersection of offset lines for this - the line one is the line that you flag for bearing and the offset is the source point and the second line is the arc and it has a zero offset and it should compute that for you I think.

Good call that would work in this case because I have that overhead line that is perpendicular to the edge of pavement. 

If I did not have this, I wouldn't be able to use this trick. With a bearing an intersection, I could snap to the bearing of the edge of pavement, add or subtract 90 to get perpendicular to the line and then choose the line I wish to intersect. I think this is a pretty common case I run into. Normally I will either choose bearing and distance, choose a distance that extends past the line and break and delete the extra segment. 

Not a show stopper but would help to cut out steps and speed things up, especially when drafting.

I think there is a combination of snaps that will do this - I normally just

draw a line on the bearing needed and then trim / extend it to the

intersection point - if it doesn't happen loads of times a day this will

work - the. Challenge you have here is that you want to draw a line but you

dont have a starting line to work off
