Description

The Point tool creates a point in the current sketch, which can be used for constructing geometry elements.

Point in the sketcher

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Create point button.
    • Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create point option from the menu.
    • Right-click in the Sketch view and select the Create point option from the context menu.
    • The keyboard shortcut: G then Y.
  2. Clicking in the sketch creates a point.
  3. Pressing Esc or clicking the right mouse button cancels the function.

Options

  • By default points are created as construction geometry and therefore are not visible outside of Sketch editing mode. Use the Toggle Construction tool to change them to normal geometry.
