Points tool box

The tools in the Points tool box are used to place the Active Point (see Setting the Active Point).

An active point is used as a reference or monument point in the design plane. It can consist of a cell from the attached cell library, a text character, a symbol, or a line with no (zero) length (a “point” element).

The Active Angle for placement is set in the DGN File Settings dialog box (Settings menu > Design File…). The Active Scale for cell placement is also set in the DGN File Settings dialog box. The Active Font, Text Height, and Text Width for character placement are set in the Text dialog box (Element menu > Text Styles).
