You can create a point by the three coordinates X, Y, Z.
On the Common Reference tab in the Create area, select the By Coordinate option in the sub menu of the Point function to display the Context Editor in the 3D canvas.

For more information, see Context Editor in Common Functionality.
You can enter the coordinates as absolute coordinates or grid coordinates, or you can indicate a point by clicking in 3D canvas. The point is created as a Common Reference Mode (CRM) point, and it can be moved by changing the coordinates in the Property Editor.

For more information, refer to Properties in in Common Functionality.
In the same interaction, several points can be created until the user presses Esc.
Result is separate instance ICRPNT and definition DCRPNT per point.
