Identifying Coordinates

Use the Coordinates tool to determine the coordinates of a point.

To identify the coordinates of a point:

1. Do one of the following:
   • On the menu, click Tools > Inquiry > Get Coordinate.
   • Type GetXY.
2. On the toolbar, click (or press and hold the left mouse button) and select Coordinates .
3. In the graphics area, select the point to identify.

   The coordinates display in the command window.

   You can use EntitySnaps to specify points on existing entities.

   A message window displays the coordinates.

4. Click OK.

  If the point you want to determine is geometrically significant, for example, a start or end point of a drawing entity, use EntitySnaps.

  The tool snaps to points that are geometrically significant, for example, a start or end point of a drawing entity.
