I am measuring a cylinder using 3 separate loops using auto point. I know there is a way to construct a cylinder from those but I can't remember exactly how. The software stores each point by PNT1[1] PNT1[2] etc but can't figure out how to extract each of those. Any help on this would be usefull. The reason behind using the loop is due to a hexical feature of three areas so I just offset in Z and angle.
Construct your feature with the points you can see in the selection window, then edit the code to change the text as needed and to add those you couldn't select.

Exactly what TKing said, with a little more detail. . .
After the feature is created from existing features that are selectable from the construction dialog, you will see this new feature in the edit window. Now you want to replace the components of that feature which were previously used simply as placeholders. For example, where you may have previously selected CIR1, CIR2, LIN3, CYL4, PNT8, PNT21 as inputs to the construction, you need to change those to show thee name of your array points. One at a time, hightlight the previously selected features (i.e. CIR1) and overtype it with the new lables, PNT1[1], PNT1[2], PNT1[3], PNT2[1], PNT2[2], etc.
