To Transparently Use a Point Name to Specify a Point Location

You can specify a point location by referencing the name of an existing point.

The system searches first in the active drawing, and then in the project, if applicable.

Note: Use the Prompt For Point Names setting to control whether points are created with point names. For more information, see To Edit the Default Point Creation Settings.

1. When you are prompted to enter a point in a command, do one of the following:
   • Enter 'pa.
   • Activate the Transparent Commands toolbar and select .
2. Enter a point name.
3. If you are prompted, enter a level.

   If the point you specified in the previous step has a level, it is listed as the default level, and you can select it by pressing Enter. For more information, see To Enter a Level for a Transparent Command.

   Note: Level prompting for transparent commands is controlled by the Transparent Command setting Prompt For 3D Points. For more information, see About Transparent Command Settings.
