Points are represented either by crosses or just by points, depending on the chosen creation mode.


  • In standard mode, which is the default mode, points created on a line, for instance, are represented by crosses. The points and the line are visible outside the Sketcher workbench.
  • Points generated by Break operations are created in construction mode, even if Standard/Construction is set to Standard. For more information, see Sketcher Users' Guide: Using Tools for Sketching: Creating Standard/ Construction Elements.
