Topic: Point Coordinates

[ryandk]

Keeping it simple.

Say I've made a point.  If I select the point and look at the properties palette it will give me its X and Y coordinates.

All I'm trying to do is create a block (or mvb) that when I drag it in from the design center and select the point, the block will graphically display the coordinates.

I had figured there would be a location or position property set within the default property sets (especially for point objects) but I can't find it.  If you know where it is or have an idea how I could execute my plan I'd appreciate hearing it.

Thanks,
Ryan

Have you looked into using attributes with fields?

[ryandk]

I'm not opposed to using an attribute if it would pull the value automatically.  I don't know anything about fields in acad really.  I pretty sure they weren't put in until 2005 and I'm using adt 2004.

DIMORDINATE??

Close, I'm just looking for something that would give me both datum values at once.  If I could change the height and layout that would be a huge plus as well.

Thanks

Try this... it might need some modifications to suit your needs. I use it to display Northings and Eastings
