Point 
Design One or More Points
Use the Point option to digitise discrete points. Each point has X, Y and Z coordinates and these can be indicated by the cursor (using any of the snap modes), entered on the keyboard or designed as input from a remote digitiser.
This option can also be accessed by selecting the Point button from the Design toolbar.
Instructions
On the Design menu, point to Create, and then click Point.
Using any of the design entry modes (refer to the Digitising section for more information) digitise the points. If the current working layer has not been defined prior to selecting the Point option, then the Allocate Layer panel displays before you are asked to digitise the points.
Allocate Layer panel
Name
Select the name of the layer from the Name drop-down list, or enter a new name to create a new layer. If you select an existing layer that is already loaded, subsequent digitising will be appended to this layer. If you select an existing layer that is not loaded, you will be prompted to specify whether you want to load the existing layer or overwrite its existing content.
Description
Enter a description of this layer. The description can contain up to 80 alphanumeric characters and can include spaces. If a description is not entered, a default description will be used instead. If the selected layer already has an assigned description, it displays when the layer is selected. Existing layer descriptions can be overwritten.
Click OK.
The points are created as one object. Cancel once to create more points as a different object and twice to exit the option.
Tip: Use the Backspace key to undo the last digitised point, and the C key to centre the screen on the last digitised point. Use the Shift key when using Indicate mode 
to digitise a point with same Z level as the last edited or selected point.
The points will have the default colour (displayed in the Status toolbar).
The size and shape of the symbols used to indicate point locations are determined through the point settings under the Graphics section of the Tools > Preferences option. These symbols, which can be represented as circles, squares or crosses, can be displayed at a fixed number of pixels or at a fixed real world size.
The new points will have the name POINT_<n|> where n is an integer that increases each time a new object is created, for example 'POINT_1', 'POINT_2', 'POINT_3' etc. Use the Name option (under the Design > Point Edit submenu) to change the default point name. The new points will also have a default description consisting of the date and time of creation.
