To Create Points at Object Vertices and Critical Geometric Points

Creates points automatically at the endpoints of lines, feature lines, or plot lines, or at the endpoints and center point of arcs.

Points are created from a selection set of objects. Points are not created where lines cross unless one of the points is an end point.

To create a point where lines cross each other, use the Create Points Manual command.

  1. Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys.
  2. Home tab Create Ground Data panel Points menu Create Points - Miscellaneous Automatic .
  3. Select objects. You can select lines, feature lines, plot lines, and arcs.
  4. A point is placed at each vertex of the selected object.

  5. For each point, if prompted, enter the point name, description, and level.
  6. Press Enter to end the command.
Note: Many factors affect how the point is displayed. For more information, see About Controlling the Appearance of Points in a Drawing.
