P-points and structural node points (that is, PNODs and SNODs) can be picked by the cursor. The main uses are:
-
for positioning annotation at a particular point on a primitive, for example the end of a cylinder axis
-
for identifying primitives below EQUI, STRU or SUBS elements.
A p-point or node can be identified using
Q IDP @
In addition, the p-point can be directly selected, for example
|
ON IDP @ |
- attach annotation to specified p-point or node |
To identify a p-point, move the cursor across the VIEW display with the left mouse button depressed (the cursor changes its appearance); as the cursor moves across (by default) a significant element its p-points become visible.
