The 
Node By Coordinate tool allows you to create nodes when you are in the process of creating a new model or adding to an existing model.
The Node By Coordinate command is used to create a node at the coordinate position on your model where you click. To access this tool, click ().
Dialog elements
- Coordinate
- Specify the coordinate where you wish to create the new node.
Either click directly on the model, or type the coordinate position in the dialog input box (e.g.: 5 10 15). Then click Apply.
- Create as
- Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it. For example
- You can create a curve and assign runner properties to it.
- You can create a region and assign part surface properties to it.
In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves.
Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click Change. - Filter
- The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity.
