Constructing Points

There are many different ways to construct points in a sketch.

·         Click the Point tool to construct a point.

·         Click the Straightedge tool or the Compass tool in empty space to construct a point that determines a straight object or circle. Many Custom tools can also construct points as you use them.

·         Choose Point On Object to construct a point on each selected path object.

·         Choose Midpoint to construct a midpoint on each selected segment.

·         Choose Intersection to construct the intersection point of two selected objects. Each object must be a straight object, a circle, or an arc.

·         Choose the Plot Points command to plot a point with coordinates defined by two selected measurements or by two numbers you specify.

You can also construct a point by using commands from the Transform menu to create a transformed image of an existing point.
