Points can be created to manipulate or add to existing data.

2. On the status bar, enter the coordinates of the first point and click , or click in the view window to auto-fill the fields.

Tip:  Initially the points will be created on the action plane. Enter a Z value to place the point in the 3D space.

3. Repeat step 2 to enter as many more points as required.

   

4. Complete the sequence by either right-clicking, clicking in the status bar, or pressing Enter.

   The points become one object and are saved in the cad container. The tool is also reset and ready for new entries.

5. When finished with the tool, click or press Esc to close the function.

Tip:  Create points while in top view   or action plane front view , or use snap modes to ensure points are created in the intended locations.
