AutoCAD 2026 Point Command details with 3 examples

How to Use the POINT Command:

  1. Type POINT in the command line or use the P shortcut key.
  2. Specify the location where you want to place the point by clicking in the drawing area or typing in the X, Y, and Z coordinates.

Point Command Syntax:

pgsqlCopyEditPOINT
Specify point location: (click location or type coordinates)

Examples:

  1. Placing a Point at Specific Coordinates:
    • Type POINT in the command line and press Enter.
    • Specify the coordinates for the point. For example, type 10,15 to place a point at X=10, Y=15.
    Result: A point will be placed at coordinates (10, 15) in your drawing.
  2. Placing a Point at an Intersection:
    • Type POINT in the command line and press Enter.
    • Hover over the intersection of two lines or objects in your drawing and click to place the point at that location.
    Result: The point will be placed at the intersection of the two objects.
  3. Placing Multiple Points:
    • Type POINT and press Enter.
    • Click multiple locations or enter multiple coordinates. For example, type 5,5, then 10,10, and then 20,20 to place three points at these locations.
    Result: Three points will be placed at (5, 5), (10, 10), and (20, 20).

Notes:

Points can be combined with other commands, for example, to serve as a grid for positioning items in your design or as a reference for making a new object.

Because AutoCAD points are by default quite small, you might not notice them until you apply markers or change the display settings.

Using the DDPTYPE command, you can choose a symbol for your points (such as a square or circle) and alter the point display.
