Create points either on a horizontal alignment or at an offset from the alignment.
If you want the point description to be taken from the object, specify Automatic - Object in the Prompt For Descriptions section of the Points Creation settings. The alignment name and station display in the Raw Description column in the Point Editor.
Point settings, styles, layers, point groups, and description keys can all affect how a point is created or how it is displayed in a drawing. For more information, see Before You Create Points.
