Using the Point Tool
The Point tool creates a Point on an edge, usually for defining another measurement,
or placing the Origin. You can also use the Point tool to enable measurements on
Points in the center of a Circle or Arc, an Angle intersection, or the intersection of
Pencil lines. The default is no measurement enabled.
a. Click on the “Point” button. Move the mouse over the image in the Work Area. You should
see the edges in the image highlighted as you move across them. You should see Points turn
red as you move across them.
b. To create a new Point, click on an edge. When the Point tool is selected, you can drag a new
point you created. Circle centers and angle intersection (corner) points can not be dragged.
c. When you hover the cursor over a point, a search box appears around the point. You can drag
the solid squares at the corners of this box, to resize the search area for finding the edge. You
can drag the solid square on one side of this box, to change the direction for finding the edge.
A small arrow on the opposite side of the search box shows the direction.
d. When you hover the cursor over a point, the point turns red, and a message appears telling
you to “Right-click to edit.”
e. Right-click on the Point. The Point Properties box opens. The default is no measurement
enabled. You can use the tabs and “Enable” check boxes to select measurements.
