Description
The Point tool creates a simple point in the current work plane, handy to serve as reference for placing other objects later. It takes the color previously set on the Tasks tab.
How to use
- Press the
Draft Point button, or press P then T keys - Click a point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate
Options
- To enter coordinates manually, simply enter the numbers, then press ENTER between each X, Y and Z component.
- Press ESC or the Cancel button to abort the current Line command.
Properties
- DataX: The X coordinate of the point
- DataY: The Y coordinate of the point
- DataZ: The Z coordinate of the point
Scripting
The Point tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:
makePoint([x],[y],[z])- makes a point at the given coordinates. If no X, Y and Z coordinates are given, the point is created at (0,0,0). Returns the newly created object.
Example:
import Draft
Draft.makePoint(6,4,2)
