Add Point from Point Tool

What it Does​

Adds a new point a set distance across and up or down from a point you already have. You type how far to go, so the new point lands exactly where you want it.

Use this when you know the measurements, such as "6 across and 2 down from this point".

How to Use​

  1. Activate the tool by clicking the Add Point from Point icon
  2. Select the point to measure from, then select Continue
  3. Enter the X Position. This is how far across, in the unit shown. A positive number goes right and a negative number goes left
  4. Enter the Y Position. This is how far up or down, in the unit shown. A positive number goes down and a negative number goes up
  5. Select Preview to see the new point
  6. Enter a name in the Name box
  7. Select Save to keep the point, or Cancel to leave without adding it
info

You can type a number or a formula in the X Position and Y Position boxes. See Entering Values.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the new point is remembered along with the distances you entered.
