Draw Construction and Reference Geometry
Construction lines and reference points are temporary objects you create to
help you draw accurately.
Draw Reference Points
Point objects are useful as nodes or reference geometry for object snaps and
relative offsets.
You can set the style of the points and their size relative to the screen or in
absolute units. Changing the style of points
■ Makes them more visible and easier to differentiate from grid dots
■ Affects the display of all point objects in the drawing
■ Requires using REGEN to make the change visible
