co-ordinates

is there a way of marking co-ords on a site setting out drawing with one click.

i have the drawing accurately set up with the archicad user origin set at true 0,0 (from info taken from a survey drawing), but i am having to input each co-ordinate manually.

i tried a co-ord tool object from Bite Design but it doesnt work if the archicad origin has been moved

You could modify the object to add offset parameters to compensate for the offset between your survey origin coordinates and ArchiCAD origin (i.e these parameter values are added/subtracted from the ArchiCAD coordinate to give the real survey coordinate)

If the object is done by Bite Design they may be able to do this customization for you

Why don't you start a fresh file "site file" that Bite Design won't argue with?
Then either place into "building file" as hotlink or mod.

PS Why move the AC origin? Advantages?
