Point
This command allows you to digitize individual points one at a
time. The first time it prompts you the Digitize Points Dialog for entering
point symbol styles, point prompt settings and number settings,
starting point number and layer name. If you want to enter the
elevation and description for each point, select Prompt for Descriptions and
Prompt for Elevations.
After having digitized a point, you can continue to digitize next
point by picking the point on the drawing. The command defaults to
the last layer name, point symbol, elevation, description and the
last point number plus 1. If you have finished digitizing points,
press Enter to
finish.
