Considerations for Creating a Point on a Pipe Segment From Either End
If you insert a point on an extended segment and there is a bend at the end of the segment, the point dimension is created with reference to the vertex. This is true even though you have specified the location with reference to the end of the pipe segment in the dialog box. Therefore, when you modify the dimension of the point, the displayed value is the sum of the distance from the point to the segment and the distance from the segment end to the vertex.
