# Property Detail

## IsReferencePointInferred

`PatternReferencePointServiceBuilder.``IsReferencePointInferred`

  Returns or sets the reference point inferred flag.

  This flag states whether the reference point is inferred from selected entites or not. If ‘true’, the reference point will be inferred every time the selected entities get modified or updated. If ‘false’, the reference point provided by the user will be independent of the selected entities but will be associative to the rule by which it was created (e.g. End of Line, Center of Arc).
