Setting the Point Format

You can set the display format and size of points. Although mathematically points have no size, you can specify the display size.

When you use the Point command the appearance of the points depends on the settings for the point format.

To set the point format:

  1. Click Format > Point Style (or type PointFormat).

    In the Options dialog box, the Drawings Settings page opens and Points expands.

  2. In Type, select the display format.
  3. For Size, type a value.
  4. Select a size option:
    • Absolute units. Point size is set in a value of drawing units.
    • % Relative to display. Point size is a percentage of the visible drawing plane.
  5. Click OK.

    All points in the drawing adopt the new format.
