Points

The Points tool ( Alt+P) enables you to create point sets to manipulate or add to existing data, as follows:

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

1. On the Create tab, in the Draw group, click Points.

   

2. On the status bar, enter the coordinates of the first point and click (Accept content), or pick a location 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 (Complete) 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 (Cancel) or press Esc to close the tool.
