Coordinates on the drawing - automatically

[Anonymous]

It would be really good to have a dimensioning tool which stamps the drawings with the x and y coordinates at a given point.

Currently I have to take a careful note of the coordinates, write them down, type them in as text, and then carefully double check the text against the coordinates.

This would save a load of time.

Keith,

you can actually do this with a quite simple library object.
copy/paste those three lines into the 2D script window of an library objects and save it as whatever name you'd like to have it. the result after placing it on plans is something like this:
x=[Xcoordinate],y=[Ycoordinate]
plus the hotspot

string="x="+STR(2,0,SYMB_POS_X)+",y="+STR(2,0,SYMB_POS_Y)
HOTSPOT2 0,0
TEXT2 0,0,string

unfortunately I cannot send you a complete object as I do not have access to AC at the moment.
However, I see your point and the x/y coordinates could be an option in the autotext for (e.g.) the level dimension tool
