Overview of Point Options


E	Online to nearest line/edge through point	S2	Theoretical intersection point
AX	Absolute X position	LU	Zoom
AY	Absolute Y position	FF	Perpendicular to surface (3-D)
AR	Point from X and Y position	SK	Body centroid (3-D)
VI VIS	From point I (3-D) / from point I+S (2-D)	K	Shortened coordinates (2-D)
V	From point	R	Relative coordinates
M2	Midpoint between 2 points	W	Relative angle and distance
ZP	Centre of a polyhedral circle	WX	Relative angle and X distance
O	Online to edge through point	WY	Relative angle and Y distance
J	Isolated point	FL	Perpendicular Point -> Line/Edge
SD	Intersection point 2-D/3-D lines (3-D)	F	Perpendicular point -> Nearest line/edge
M	Midpoint of a line/edge	G	Mirrored point
ZD	3-D point from 2-D drawing (3-D)		Input via keyboard
D2	Distance along contour (2-D)	SP	Surface centroid
D	Distance from start of line/edge	SE	Theoretical intersection of three planes (3D)
A	Absolute position	Z	Centre
I	Snap point	QP	Quad point
P	Absolute angle and distance	L	Last point
PX	Absolute angle and X distance	OF	Online to surface through point (3-D)
PY	Absolute angle and Y distance		Switch snap radius on/off
SZ	Sketch (2-D)	KF	Edge/surface intersection (3-D)
CI	Cylinder intersection point (3-D)	N	Named Point
T	Tangential point	B	Dimensioning point
ST	Intersection of tangents	EP	Vertex of ellipse
RET	Apply current cursor position	TF	Tangent to surface
S	Genuine intersection point

*AP = Snappable with Autopilot

The handling of point options in 2-D and 3-D is largely identical.
