Chapter 6 - Reference Geometry6.3.6 Point Along EdgeYou can create a point along an edge at a specified location.‣ To create a point along an edge:1. Select the edge. A preview of the new point is displayed.Enter a Ratio value. A ratio of .5 will place the point at the midpoint of theedge, 1.0 will place the point at the end of the edge.2. Click OK to create the point.6.3.7 Point Between Two PointsYou can create a point between two points at a specified location.‣ To create a point between two points:1. Select a point or vertex.2. Select a second point or vertex.3. Enter a Ratio value. A ratio of .5 will place the point at the midpoint between thetwo existing points or vertices.4. Click OK.6.4 Reference SurfacesYou can insert surfaces as reference geometry, similar to application planes, in order totrim or extend solids to the surfaces. In addition, you can thicken a reference surfaceinto a solid.6.4.1 Inserting Reference SurfacesSurfaces can be inserted from IGES or SAT files only.149
