Are you struggling to find the point ID in AutoCAD? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of locating the point ID in AutoCAD. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Open your drawing in AutoCAD
Firstly, open the drawing where you want to find the point ID. You can either open an existing drawing or create a new one.
Step 2: Access the ‘Point’ command
To find the point ID, we need to use the ‘Point’ command in AutoCAD. There are multiple ways to access this command:
- Method 1: Type ‘POINT’ in the command line and press Enter.
- Method 2: Click on the ‘Draw’ menu at the top of the AutoCAD window. From the drop-down menu, select ‘Point’.
- Method 3: You can also use a shortcut by typing ‘PO’ and pressing Enter.
Step 3: Specify a location for your point
After accessing the ‘Point’ command, AutoCAD will prompt you to specify a location for your point. Simply click anywhere on your drawing area to place your point.
Note:
If you already have points in your drawing and want to find their IDs, simply select one of those points instead of creating a new one.
Step 4: View and copy the point ID
Once you have placed your point, AutoCAD will assign it a unique identification number known as its Point ID. To view and copy the point ID, follow these steps:
- Method 1: Right-click on the point you just created or selected. From the context menu, select ‘Properties’.
- Method 2: Alternatively, you can use the shortcut ‘Ctrl + 1’ to open the ‘Properties’ palette.
The ‘Properties’ palette will display various properties of the selected point, including its Point ID. Look for a property named ‘ID’ or ‘Point ID’.
The value next to it represents the unique identification number of the point. You can simply select and copy this value for further use.
Note:
If you have multiple points in your drawing, repeat Step 4 for each point to find their respective IDs.
Congratulations! You have successfully found the point ID in AutoCAD. Now you can easily identify and work with specific points in your drawing.
