 * 1) Press the  button, or press  then  keys.
 * 2) Click a point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the  button.

Options

 * To enter coordinates manually, simply enter the numbers, then press between each X, Y and Z component. You can press the  button when you have the desired values to insert the point.
 * Press or click the checkbox to toggle continue mode. If continue mode is on, the point tool will restart after you place a point, allowing you to place another one without pressing the tool button again.

Scripting
Draft API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The Point tool can be used in macros and from the [[Python|]Python] console by using the following function:


 * Creates a object in the specified,  and  coordinates, with units in millimeters. If no coordinates are given the point is created at the origin (0,0,0).
 * If is a  defined by a, it is used.
 * is a tuple that indicates the color of the point in the RGB scale; each value in the tuple should be in the range from  to.
 * is the name of the object.
 * is the size of the object in pixels, if the graphical user interface is loaded.

Example:

Example:

This code creates random points within a square of side. It makes a loop creating points, that may appear anywhere from  to  on both X and Y; it also chooses a random color and size for each point. Change to change the number of points, and change  to change the area covered by the points.
