Possible to create Associative Point at intersection of 3 Planes?
Possible to create Associative Point at intersection of 3 Planes?
(OP)
I don't see an option for this, but it would be useful to be able to create an Associative Point at the intersection of 3 Planes.
(If this is already possible, please tell how?)
I know that it is possible to create a CSYS feature with 3 Planes (and that the resulting CSYS will have a Point along with its planes and axes). But, it seems that the option to create a single point at the intersection of 3 planes is a logical and useful functionality.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

@mmauldin, yes, of course you can do it as you say; but this implies you have to make a Sketch just to get your point. However, my post was targeted at using the Associative Point tool (found by going to Insert > Datum/Point > Point).
Thanks.
