Pick Intersection Points

This command locates points at screen picked intersections. The object snap mode is set to intersection. This routine is similar to the Locate Point command, with an additional check that makes sure there is an intersection at the picked point. If there is not an intersection at the picked point, then no point is created.

This first prompt is very important. Apparent Intersection snaps to the apparent intersection of two objects (arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, multiline, polyline, ray, spline, or xline) that do not intersect in 3D space, but may appear to intersect in the current view. This allows you to locate a point at the theoretical intersection of two 3D entities. You should answer No to this prompt if you want to ignore theoretical 3D intersections.
