This command creates a point at the user-entered coordinates. The point is both stored to the current coordinate (.CRD) file and drawn on the screen. The program will prompt for the northing and easting. This routine will prompt for point number, elevation and description, depending on the settings in the Point Defaults command. Point Defaults also allows you to set the point symbol and layer. Point Defaults is found under the Points pulldown.
