Description[edit | edit source]
The Sketcher CreatePoint tool creates a point.
Usage[edit | edit source]
See also: Drawing aids.
Pos-OVP = Positional On-View-Parameters. introduced in 1.0
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- The cursor changes to a cross with the tool icon.
- Pick a point. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X- and/or Y-coordinate.
- The point is created and applicable Pos-OVP based constraints are added.
- If the tool runs in continue mode:
- Optionally keep creating points.
- To finish, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- 0.21 and below: Points are always created as construction geometry. Optionally change them to normal geometry with Sketcher ToggleConstruction to make them visible outside of Sketch editing mode.
