Use the icons in the Miscellaneous list to access commands that are commonly used for creating points.
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.
Topics in this section
- Creating Points at Specified Coordinates
Creates a point at specified or selected location in the drawing.
- Creating Points by Geodetic Direction and Distance
Creates a point by using a specified geodetic direction.
- Creating Points by Resection
Creates a point at a position calculated from the measured angles between three known points.
- Creating Points by Station and Offset
Creates a point at a specified station and offset distance from a line, polyline, feature line, lot line, or arc.
- Creating Points at Object Vertices and Critical Geometric Points
Creates points automatically at the endpoints of lines, feature lines, or lot lines, or at the endpoints and center point of arcs.
- Creating Points Along a Line or a Curve
Creates points along a line, feature line, lot line, or arc at a specified distance from an end point.
- Creating Points on a Line or Curve
Creates a point at the endpoint of a line, feature line, lot line, or arc and on points of intersection (PIs) and radius points for arcs.
- Creating a Specific Number of Points Along an Object by Dividing the Object
Creates a specific number of evenly spaced points along a line, feature line, lot line, or arc.
- Creating Points on an Object Using Distance Intervals
Creates points that are a specified distance apart along a line, feature line, lot line, or arc.
- Creating Points on Polylines at a Specified Elevation
Creates points at the vertices of a polyline at a specified elevation.
- Creating Points on Polylines
Creates points at the vertices of a polyline.
