Creating Points

Creating Points

A point is a location in space specified by its x, y, and z coordinates. An progeCAD point entity consists of a single x-, y-, and z-coordinate location, and is represented by one of several symbols. You can create both Point objects -- which are not visible on screen -- and PointEntity objects -- which are visible on screen. To create points and point entities, use one of the following methods:

CreatePoint

Creates a Point object.

AddPointEntity

Creates a PointEntity object and adds it to the drawing.

To change the appearance of point entities, change the PDMODE and PDSIZE system variables using the SetVariable method.
