NPT

Reference number for keypoint. If zero, the lowest available number is assigned [NUMSTR].

X, Y, Z

Keypoint location in the active coordinate system (may be R, θ, Z or R, θ, Φ). If X = P, graphical picking is enabled and all other fields (including NPT) are ignored (valid only in the GUI).

Notes

Defines a keypoint in the active coordinate system [CSYS] for line, area, and volume descriptions. A previously defined keypoint of the same number will be redefined. Keypoints may be redefined only if it is not yet attached to a line or is not yet meshed. Solid modeling in a toroidal system is not recommended.
