Creating Point(s)
![]()
NOTE: You can create multiple points without closing the dialog by selecting the pin icon in the top right hand corner.
You can create a point based on existing geometry such as a line, surface or surface edge. A point can also be created based keying in the X,Y,Z coordinates of the point to be created.
To create a point on a surface edge, select the Create Point icon. In the Geometry – Create Point dialog box select the edge filter at the top of the dialog box. Next select an edge of one of the surfaces of your part. The point can either be placed at the C.O.G. of the edge or along the edge by selecting the appropriate option in the dialog box. If you select the Point on line/edge option you define the position of the point on the edge by moving the slider or by keying in a Proportion from 0 to 1.

To create a point on a line, follow the same procedure as above, except click the Point at C.O.G. of line(s)/edge(s) radio button. Clicking the Point on surface radio button will allow you to create a point(s) by clicking the position on a surface where you want that point to be created. The Manual radio button allows you to create points by specifying the coordinates of the point.
