P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

(OP)
I see in a few places the term " P.O.I"  What does it mean?

Occurrence is:
18.90
P.O.I.
2 PLCS

Point of Interest??

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

Point of Introduction, that is where we are using P.O.I for.
But above statement does not make sense to me.

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

(OP)
Thgirw;

Could you please explain your reference?  I have not encountered it before.

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

Point Of Intersection ?
Point Of Interconnection ?

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

"Point of Ignorance".  No reason to use vague abbreviations in the era of CAD.

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

(OP)
The feature it refers to is a circle/centerpoint.  Perhaps the point of intersection is a vague reference to centerpoint...

Thanks for the help.

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

ryandias,

   Can you see a feature that is 18.90 something or others?

(OP)
The dimension 18.9 is from the center of a mounting hole to the extent of the perimeter.

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

Then it's probably the Point Of Incidence.

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

   Point Of Interface?

   Maybe you are better off mis-interpeting it, the funnier and more outrageous, the better.  People have to learn to not use obscure acronyms.

   Eschew obfuscation.

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

(OP)
Agreed.

Now there is also a CRS reference associated with radial features...
got an interpretation for that?

Can't Remember Stuff
Completely Redundant Shit

RE: P.O.I. reference - What does it mean?

This is what happens when standards are not followed, others can't read the drawing!

(OP)
problem is now, they threw some ambiguous note in that I am not certain carries no relevant meaning.
