See also: Generating the Intersection of Two Curves
Creates a point where two entities intersect or approach within a the specified distance (the Tolerance).
Number of steps - Specifies a value that controls the search for intersections. This should be close to the number of expected intersections. If not all the intersection points are found, repeat the command with a higher value.
Tolerance - Specifies the maximum distance that two entities can approach each other by and be classed as an intersection.
Note that these points are generated on curves using the mathematical definition of the curve. Depending on the tolerance used to initially define the curve (not the Tolerance parameter used in this command), the points may not appear to lie on the curve.
