Points do not have labels

Point type
A point defined by Location is a coordinate in space that is attached to, and moves with, its parent assembly.

A point defined by node is essentially the same: it obtains it current coordinate from the node.

The node should normally be part of the parent assembly, but this is not mandatory.

Restraints and coordinate systems
A point's movement may be restrained in any combination of degrees of freedom (or none).

If a local coordinate system is defined restraints act in that system, otherwise they are global.
