NX8 Journal/NXOpen createpoint at WCS coordinates 1

[sumBuddy]

Hello all -

I am having an issue placing a point in a sketch via a Journal with the defining coordinates referenced by the WCS, and not the Absolute coordinates. When I have a random CSys, and create a journal locating a sketch point at (0,0,0) referencing the random WCS, the journal actually creates code generating a Point3D object, but with the transformed coordinates as the Point3D.X, Point3D.Y, and Point3D.Z properties. Is there a way to define a point without knowing the absolute coordinates? Can it be done without moving the absolute coordinates to the WCS?

Thank you in advance,

I posted some code samples from GTAC that convert points from absolute to WCS and vice-versa.
