Adding Named Points from the Model Tree to a Dialog Using Point Entry

Use point entry to add the coordinates of a named point in the model tree to fields on a dialog.

As an example, specify the base corner of a cuboid using point entry to add the coordinates of the named point (in the model tree) to the dialog.

  1. Open the Create cuboid dialog.
  2. Verify that the Base corner field is highlighted in yellow.
  3. Press and hold down the Ctrl+Shift keys while hovering with the mouse cursor over a named point in the model tree.
  4. Left click on a named point in the model tree to perform point entry on the named point. You can now release the Ctrl+Shift keys.
    The coordinate of the named point is added to the Base corner fields and the focus has moved to the next field.
