Draw point using dynamic input

  1. In Sketch mode, on the ribbon Sketch tab Draw panel, click Point .
  2. As you move your cursor around the graphics window, Pointer Input displays the X and Y coordinates of the cursor location. The coordinates displayed are relative to the sketch origin of X = 0, Y = 0.
  3. Press the TAB key to provide focus on the first value input field. Enter the value for the X coordinate and press TAB. The field then displays a lock icon to indicate that the value that you entered constrained the cursor.
  4. The second value input box highlights. Enter a value for the Y coordinate and press ENTER.

    The point is drawn at the precise X and Y coordinates provided.

  5. Continue drawing points, or press ESC to terminate the Point command.
Note: As an alternative to Dynamic Input, you can ignore the Heads-Up Display (HUD) and pick a location on the screen to place a point.
