Plane

Creates a point by using a line and a plane for reference.

Click the Set Base Point button and click a PickPoint to set it as the center of the plane. Then select which axis the plane should lie on (X, Y, Z Plane or 3 Points). If 3 Points is selected, 3 PickPoints will need to be selected to define the custom plane.

Click two PickPoints, a line, or an arc to set them as the feature that the new line will be placed along. The new PickPoint will be at the intersection of the line and the plane. Click the Ignore Arc Ends to treat arc features as circles.

To move the new PickPoint up or down along the line, enter a value in the Move Amount field.

Click the Apply button to place the new point.

Arc

Creates a PickPoint by using an arc as reference.

Click the Set Arc button and click on an arc to select it. The angle of the arc should appear under Arc Angle in the Arc area.

Enter the angle along the arc that the new point should be in the Sweep Angle field. To set a point above or below the selected arc, enter a value in the Radius Offset field. Negative values will cause the PickPoint to be inside the arc. Click the Split in Half button to set the PickPoint halfway across the arc.

Click the Apply button to place the PickPoint.
