Create points in sketches

Create center points or sketch points in 2D and 3D sketches.

Begin in a 2D or 3D sketch. Select a sketch plane, and then place points.

Place sketch point and center point

1. On the ribbon Sketch tab Draw panel , click Point .
2. Click in the graphics window to place points.

   To switch between creation of a sketch point and center point, on the Sketch tab, Format panel, click Center Point.

3. To position a point on existing geometry precisely, right-click and do one of the following:
   • Select Midpoint, and click a line or curve.
   • Select Center, and click a circle or ellipse.
   • Select Intersection, and click two intersecting elements.

   To constrain a point to existing geometry, move the cursor over the geometry to display the coincident symbol.

Note: Alternatively, import points from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to create center points or sketch points.
