Precision Point Placement

Precision Point Placement

This feature makes it easy to insert a point on an edge exactly where you want it.

To precisely place a point on an edge:

  1. Note the distance from where you want to put the point, to the nearest end of the edge.

    For example, assume you have an edge that is 10cm, and you want to insert a point exactly 4cm from the right end of the edge.
