See also: Drawing aids.

Pos-OVP = Positional On-View-Parameters. introduced in version 0.22

  1. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Create point button.
    • Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create point option from the menu.
    • Right-click in the 3D view and select the Create point option from the context menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: G then Y.
  2. The cursor changes to a white cross with the tool icon.
  3. Pick a point. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X and/or Y coordinate.
  4. The point is created as construction geometry and applicable Pos-OVP based constraints are added.
  5. If the tool runs in continue mode: optionally keep creating points.
  6. If the tool runs in continue mode: press Esc or the right mouse button, or start a another constraints or geometries tool, to finish.

Notes

  1. Points are created as construction geometry. Optionally change them to normal geometry with Sketcher ToggleConstruction to make them visible outside of Sketch editing mode.
