putting a point on a line

As dumb as it sounds, how do I create a reference point/ hot point on an existing line? Drinks on me, for my first post...

Take a look at the POINT command. The symbol for the "point" itself can be changed as well as the size. Consult your AutoCAD Help files for further information.

When I consult the help files for "point command" the only reference that comes up pertains to a lighting source. Is there a command prompt for placing points?

Hi

Change the UCS location to that required point, and it would be as a reference

if you want to.

Try looking at PDMODE and PDSIZE in your Help file.
