Identifying Coordinates

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

To identify the coordinates of a point:

  1. On the toolbar, click (or press and hold the left mouse button) and select Coordinates .
  2. In the graphics area, select the point to identify.

    You can use EntitySnaps to specify points on existing entities.

    A message window displays the coordinates.

  3. 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.
