Selecting Cad Points

[phil george]

Anyone know how to select points place on the cad by the designer? I know I've done it before but can't seem to get it to work now. I can come close but I'd like to select it with the vector point box open to get the actual nominals.

Try picking them in WIRE FRAME instead of surface mode.

BUT THEN click on FIND so that you get the point on the surface model and with the correct vector. If they are wire-frame points, you will not get a usable vector. You can also click on FIND VECTOR if you absolutely want to have it use the XYZ from the wire frame point (that may or may not be on the surface model).

That did the trick. Thanks.

Can't prove it right now but open auto features select the type of point and in the graphics window left click and hold draw a box over intire screen to select all points then hit create and this should create all the points at one time with vector if in the point. Turn off measure, You will have to f9 them to modify the way you want. Sould be in wire frame mode.

Yeah, that works even better. It worked in Surface mode too. Thanks.
