Hi,

This point is automatically projected on the plane that you are sketching on

If you want to turn this feature off, go to preferences and turn it off from the Design

Hi,

Can you point me to documentation about projected points? Where are they projected from ?

They are projected from existing geometry from other bodies behind the plane you are working on

so do purple lines

@SaeedHamza Have a look at the pick it's on the origin

The point you see is the sketch origin point. It's always there but becomes visible as a projected point if you use it for a reference in some way. Unlike other projected points there doesn't seem to be a way to break the link of delete. Don't know if that's by design. @jeff_strater any thoughts.

Screencast example.

I'd say that is a bug. It's just a case of Fusion drawing the point incorrectly. As you say, the point is always there, and cannot be deleted. But, if you delete what it is connected to, Fusion does not revert to the previous display. It probably should. Logged as FUS-33707
