- Angle and Distance
- Average
- Bearing and Distance
- Bearing and Distance Intersection
- Bearing Intersection
- Chainage and Offset
- Coordinate Difference
- Coordinates
- Distance and Offset
- Distance and Offset Intersection
- Distance Intersection
- Existing Vertex
- Freehand
- Image Intersection
- Grade Height
- Grid
- Linear Offset
- Number of Segments
- Object Intersection
- Offset Intersection
- Segment Distance
- Tangent
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Type a name for the created object or click  to use the next available auto incremented name. |
| OK | Create the point. |
- Points are created on the active layer.
- The Appearance properties of points are set by the layer but can be overridden via the Attributes tab.
- Click the Attributes tab to view or edit automatically created attributes.
- When using a mouse to pick objects, the modify operation is carried out immediately after all controls have been filled with valid values.
- When using the keyboard to type values or when operating on a selection of objects, click OK or press Enter to modify the object.
- You can pick a name from an existing object.
