Point Groups

You can use named collections of points, called point groups, to organize points and to control their appearance in a drawing.

A point group has the following characteristics:

• It has persistent properties you can easily review or change.
• A points list displays the points included in a point group. The point list can be updated automatically. This might be necessary when you change the point group’s properties, create new points that match the point group’s properties, or erase or modify points that match the point group’s properties.
• A point group can be locked to prevent changes within a drawing.
