Wayne,

Sketch, Feature Tools is grayed out except for certain commands (Thicken and Blend functions are the most common ones I used to run into) in WF 5 - here's what should be displayed:

[cid:image001.png@01CFF818.F7437310][cid:image007.png@01CFF819.5593E3A0]

Not sure if this helps or not. For the vast majority of features types it was always grayed out

In WF5, the old "axis point" is now called a geometry point. I think it's grouped on the toolbar with a regular sketch point.

It will make an axis in an extruded feature and a datum point in a plain sketch.

The first point symbol makes a point in sketch. I assume the second is
the one I want. Its greyed out. see attached.

I got point tool to work on solid and on new sheet metal. I am assuming
that it won't work on older files???

Easy Solution? Maybe you could model the revolved feature as a revolved feature. Then the axis is locked in.

Yes. In Creo Parametric 2 it looks like a point. There is no other point on the sketch menu - that I am aware of.
