Creates a point at every geometry point on an alignment.
Geometry points are points of curvature (PC), points of tangency (PT), spiral-curves (SC), curve-spirals (CS), tangent spirals (TS), spiral-tangents (ST), and points of intersection (PI).
When creating points using this command, you are not prompted for a description if the Prompt For DescriptionsPoints Creation setting is set to Automatic-Object. The raw and full description for the point is automatically assigned based on the type of point created. The assigned description displays in the drawing if the current point label style contains a raw description or a full description text component.
The following table describes alignment vertex labels that are created and the description that is assigned based on the point type:
