Like insert a point? use the point icon.
 
i mean like i have 3 points........

point 1 is i.e ( x =2 y =4 z=6)

point 2 is i.e ( x =1 y =7 z=2)

point 3 is i.e ( x =2 y =7 z=4)


how would i enter that to create a point for each one
 
Tony,
You must have the "Generative Shape Design" or "Wireframe and Surface Design" modules. LMB on Start, and hopefully you will see those choices. Activate one of them and then you will see a "point" icon.
Not all businesses purchase all the needed modules.

Point creation exist also on Part Design workbench.

To activate toolbar select
View - Toolbars -> Reference elements

 
Laura,

Thanks I looks for those modules and found them. I used the wireframe one and i was able to put my points in in the xyz.

Thanks lots

=P

you could use power commands. If you have a CATIA P2 configuration you will see a white box bottom right of your screen. If you type c:point you can type 10,10,10 which will give a point at theses co-ordinates
