Need Help in Illustrator - Anchor Points to Dots

[animatics]

Hi guys!

I'm doing some work in Illustrator related to 3D modeling and i can export from the 3D aplication vector data to illustrator.

My problem is i would like that the vertexs from the 3D model would show up like dots. And i dont know how to make in Illustrator.

I see 2 possibilities that i don't know how to acomplish:
- There is a way to make illustrator render anchor points like dots.
- There is a way to place and object (like a circle) in each anchor point automaticly.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

Okay, I consider this potentially dangerous, because I don't know all the ramifications, never tried it before... but it initially appears to work. (I'm using CS3)

Draw your path point to point.

With the path selected, Select > Object> Direction handles

Delete (this should leave the points, no connecting lines)

With the points selected, Effect > Convert to Shape > Ellipse

Specify an appropriate radius. Set fill to black after the effect is applied. Save a Graphic Style to reuse.
