Description:
The cursor can be used to pick any p-point in the visible design or any mapping pin. This form of picking will not change the current element.
Notes: IDPPOINT cannot be used in isolation. It must be used with another command.
Only those p-points which are defined in the Catalogue as being visible in Design
will be available for picking in this way.
