About Punch Axis Points
A punch axis point is a reference point that moves with a feature during both the unbend and bend back operations. You must set the punch_axis_points configuration option to enable such points.

• Like a regular datum point, the punch axis point appears in the part, has a standard point symbol, and an assigned name (for example, PNT0).
• Unlike a regular datum point, the punch axis point is not a separate feature. The point moves with the placement plane of its parent feature during the unbend and bend back operations. It is comparable to the feature axis in a revolved cut in part mode.
• You can dimension to a punch axis point in detail drawings.
