Point/X,Y

Coordinate Point

Creates a point at explicit X and Y coordinates. The simplest and most fundamental XyzPilot operator.

What It Does

The Point/X,Y operator creates a point at the exact coordinates you specify. It is the most fundamental operator in XyzPilot — the starting point for all geometry construction.

No selector is required. The result is uniquely determined by the two coordinate values.

Construction Tier: Points are disposable. Delete them freely once the product geometry built from them is complete, or use Edit → Clear All Points to remove all points at once.

Syntax

Point/X, Y, Z

Quick Input

X: [x coordinate] Y: [y coordinate] Z: 0

Direction Selector

No direction selector is required. The result is uniquely determined by the input geometry.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Point/100, 50, 0 → P0 = (100, 50, 0) Example 2: Point/0, 0, 0 → P1 = (0, 0, 0) [origin] Example 3: Point/-25.5, 75.25, 0 → P2 = (-25.5, 75.25, 0) [negative X, decimal values]

Analytic Rule

Explicit coordinate form. Point is stored as (X, Y, Z) with Z=0 for 2D work. No computation required — coordinates are taken directly. Result: Exact. No ambiguity possible.

FAQ

What units does XyzPilot use for coordinates?

XyzPilot uses millimetres (mm) for all length values. Angles are in degrees. Coordinates use the standard Cartesian X, Y, Z system.

Can I use negative coordinates?

Yes. Negative X values are to the left of the origin. Negative Y values are below the origin. All coordinate values — positive, negative, and decimal — are supported.
