Home: Elements: Objects: Points: 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.
