The Cosmetic Vertex tool adds a Vertex, which is not part of the source geometry, to a View. This Vertex behaves like any other vertex and can be used for dimensioning.



Usage

 * 1) Select a view in the drawing.
 * 2) Press the  button
 * 3) A task dialog will open. It allows to set location of the Cosmetic Vertex either by picking a point or by entering an x,y-offset from the center of the selected view.
 * 4) To pick a position, press the button . Click to a position in the view and subsequently press  to create the point. To exit the point picking without creating a Cosmetic Vertex, press the  button in the dialog.

To delete a Cosmetic Vertex, select it and use the toolbar button.
