Point color and size

Can anyone help out this old guy out?

Is there a way to change the size an color of the "point" while in sketch mode. Currently it is small and lime green and against some colors it virtually disappears. I end up rotating the model looking for it. Being 60 years old with failing vision doesn't help. Additionally I don't want to change the whole color scheme.

 

Thanks,

Bill

Tools>Application Options>General tab increase Annotation Scale.

Tools>Application Options>Colors tab select a different color scheme.

Changing the scale helps a bit but the point is always thin lime geen cross hairs and although changing schemes helps a little I do not like those schemes. I was hoping to be able to change only the point. Thanks for all the help!

There is one other option, but first -

 

I need to know the purpose of your points.  What are you using them for?

There is no way to ONLY change the point color.. but you can change the color of all "unconstrainted" line/point work in a sketch..

FYI..

These elements are controlled by the color of "Under-Constrain Curve" in the Sketch section of the color scheme editor..

Check this method of toggling between Points and Sketch Center Points.

I place points on planes to allow me to create holes on uneven surfaces.
