.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Without any options,
\fBkeypoint\fR
displays the current keypoint setting\&. If a point is specified, then that point becomes the
\fIkeypoint\fR\&. If
\fIreset\fR
is specified, then the default
\fIkeypoint\fR
is restored\&. The
\fIkeypoint\fR
is used as the center of rotation and scaling in primitive edit or matrix edit (formerly known as object edit) modes\&. This command has no effect when used in nonediting modes\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
The example shows the use of the
\fBkeypoint\fR
command to set the keypoint in model units\&.
