You can use these options to specify which types of points Allplan is to scan the workspace for. In addition, you can enable CursorTips, which considerably facilitate the procedure of identifying points. CursorTips are small symbols that appear at the center of the crosshairs to indicate the type of point (midpoint, intersection, grid point, ...) the system will snap to when you click. See Using CursorTips.
