Activate the Precise Input tool to enter xyz points directly.

You can also set Inventor to automatically enter Bends for you in a 3D path.

You can also do this directly from an Excel spreadsheet.

Hi

You didn't attach a screenshot.

What point do you mean? Do you mean the sketch point or the working point?

Precise input will let me manually enter it this way... Want to keep it simple as possible for what I'm doing

You still haven't answered the question - what type of point do you want to create?

Guess you would call a inferred point a construction point

Apparently attempting to do a tube/pipe route.

 

@jeremy_camper 

In addition to Precise Input or spread sheet import, there is also an entire work environment (Routed Systems) dedicated for this in Autodesk Inventor Professional.

Will this let me create a non-assoctive point?

 

I just want it to be a manual construction point in space

 

Point. Creates a construction point
