# Point objects

The **Point object**![blue_point](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/keycom-object-forms-image-9bz7jf8f.png)form and its functions work as described for point objects in the chapter [Buttons on object forms](/kb/docs/buttons-on-object-forms-4-1-1).

## Loop/coil

**A loop/coil is** not **created** in the same way as other point objects. You can draw loops/coils to the cable route when you digitize a cable or you can connect a **loop/coil** to a cable afterwards by taking the following steps:

1. In the KeyCom menu, click **Point object**![blue_point](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1695281953790.png)to open the **Point object** form.
2. Enter the information in the fields: **Type**, **Length**, and **Usage state**. The length of the loop/coil is added to the total cable length on the **Cable** form.
3. Click **Create**.
4. In the **Drawing options** window that is displayed, in the menu for **Snapping,** select **Follow a line**.

1. Hold down the SHIFT key and click the correct point on the cable with the left mouse button to place the loop/coil.
2. You can see the distance to the cable’s starting and ending point in the **Following cable** window in the **Lengths** field. If you have selected the **Length** checkbox, the length of the loop/coil (if provided) is added to the cable’s length.
