Feature Description

In GIS applications, point objects are often used to describe point features such as elevation control points, mines, caves, etc. The Feature Drawing group on the Features tab contains buttons for drawing point objects, available when the current editable layer is a point layer or CAD layer.

Feature Entry

• Features tab->Feature Drawing group->Point.

Steps

1. Under the Features tab in the Feature Drawing group, click the Point button to enter drawing mode.
2. When Parametric Drawing is enabled, move the cursor to the map. Two parameter input boxes will appear showing the current cursor coordinates. Enter X and Y coordinate values to specify the point location. Press Enter to confirm. The drawn point will display on the map.
   Note:

   When editing values in parameter input boxes, the input field becomes locked - values won't update with cursor movement and only display user input. Press Tab to switch focus between X/Y coordinate fields. Press Esc to cancel the locked state.

   

3. Repeat the previous step to draw multiple points.
4. Right-click or click the point drawing button again to finish drawing.
