CAD Points

Points will be generated honouring the current Layer, Colour, Style and Lock settings.

• Create - Places new points at any location in the cad model as specified by the cursor and any active lock modes.
  
  
• Along Line -  Creates a new point at a specified distance along a given CAD line. The command will repeat until cancelled.
• Along Arc - Creates a new point at a specified distance along a given CAD arc. The command will repeat until cancelled.
  
  
• Divide Points - Creates a given number of new points equally spaced between two indicated locations on screen.
• Divide Line - Creates a given number of new points equally spaced along an indicated CAD line.
• Divide Arc - Creates a given number of new points equally spaced along an indicated CAD Arc.
  
  
• Project Points - Creates a new point on a theoretical baseline indicated by two locations on screen.  The point is placed at the projected position the indicated point would lie on the theoretical line.
• Project Line - Projects indicated points onto an indicated Line segment.
• Project Arc/Circle - Projects indicated points onto an indicated Arc or Circle.
  
  
• Intersect Line and Line - Generates a new point at the intersection of two indicated lines.
• Intersect Line and Arc - Generates a new point at the intersection of an indicated line and arc.
• Intersect Arc and Arc - Generates a new point at the intersection of two indicated arcs.
  
  
• Distance 2 Points - Having specified on screen two origin locations, and to which side the new point(s) should be generated, a dialog is displayed which prompts for two tied distances. Assuming the distances are compatible, the new point will be inserted at the intersection of these two radials.
  
  
• Backcloth Copy - Copies an indicated CAD point in a CAD Backcloth, forward into the current CAD model.
