Redefine Point
The Redefine Point tool modifies the current definition of any point, as long as the new definition
does not create a circular reference.
A circular reference occurs when a point that defines an object is redefined to be on that object.
An example is defining the center point of a circle to be a point on the circle. This is not allowed.

the intersection of two objects.

Transfer to another point – transfers the point to
another existing point.
