== Point tools ==
The tools described in this section are designed to allow you to create a point under certain conditions. Such conditions can be different, for example distance or angle, parents' positions and etc.
<!--T:3-->
=== Point - Length and Angle (Shortcut L, A) ===
{|
|[[File:
|Create a new node at a distance and angle away from another node
|-
|
|Click a node, move away in the general direction and distance, and click again to create the node. Open the Options (right-click and select options), or use the Property Editor, to edit the details
|-
|
|
*Name: Name of the new node
*Base point: Starting point
*Length: You can define a fixed length or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
*Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
*Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node

|Create a new node at a distance from one point along a line between two points
|-
|
|Click two nodes and enter the distance from the first node that you’d like the new node to be placed.
You may place a node beyond the second node as well – it doesn’t need to be between the two nodes, however, it will be inline with the two nodes.
|-

*Name: Name of the new node
*First point: Starting point
*Second point: End point
*Length: You can define a fixed length or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values

|[[File:Normal.svg|50x50px]]
|Create a new node perdendicular (at an 90° angle) to a line
|-
|
|Click the node where you’d like to measure from and another node. Enter the distance and a rotation.
This is very handy when you wish to <code>'''square off'''</code> from a particular point.

*Name: Name of the new node
*First point: Starting point
*Second point: End point
*Lenght: You can define a fixed length or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values

===Point - Length to Line (Shortcut P, S)===
{|
|[[File:Shoulder.svg|50x50px]]
|Create a new node along a line at a distance from an axis node
|-
|
|First select a starting point from which your length will be measured. Than select two points of a line. The new node will be created on the extention of your selected line.
|-
|[[File:Advice.svg|50x50px]]
|'''Important note:'''If the given length is to short the resulting point will be the same as the last point of the line you selected
|-
|
|
*Name: Name of the new node
*First point: First point of the line to extend. It's the '''second''' point you selected
*Second point: Second point of the line to extend. It's the '''third''' point you selected
*Third point: Starting point of a virtual line with your given length. It's the '''first''' point you selected
*Length: You can define a fixed length or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values.
*Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node

===Point - Intersect Arc and Line (Shortcut A, L)===
{|
|[[File:
|Create a new node along a line at a distance from an axis node
|-
|
|This tool is similar to above mentioned tool '''Point - Length to Line'''.
First select two points of a line to create a virtual axis. Then select the centerpoint of a circle and define the radius. A new node will be created at the crosspoint of the axis and the radius.
First select a starting point from which your length will be measured. Than select two points of a line. The new node will be created on the extention of your selected line.
|-
|[[File:
|'''Important note:'''If the radius is to small no point will be created. This could break your design if you rely on the created node for further tool.
|-
|
|
*Name: Name of the new node
*Center of arc: Center point of arc. The radius will start from this point. It's the '''third''' point you selected
*1st line point: Starting point of the line to extend. It's the '''first''' point you selected
*2nd line point: Endpoint of the line to extend. It's the '''second''' point you selected
*Radius: You can define a fixed length or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values.
