How to display the coordinates XYZ for a specific point in AutoCAD?

Working with points in AutoCAD may require displaying their coordinates XYZ for various purposes such as locating, labeling, or measuring points. Manually displaying the coordinates for a specific point can be slow and inconvenient, especially if you have to use the ID command, the list command, or the properties panel.

Introduction to AutoCAD.

Fortunately, there is a way to quickly display the coordinates XYZ for a specific point in AutoCAD using a simple LISP code. In this post, I will show you how to use a LISP code that can display the coordinates XYZ for any point in your drawing with one click.

What is the AutoCAD LISP and how do you upload it to AutoCAD?

After you have uploaded the LISP file, you can type 'XYZ' to activate it.

Pick your point.

Then, pick the text location.

You can download the lisp from here.

Conclusion:

Here's a helpful LISP code that can save you a lot of time and effort when working with points in AutoCAD. With just one click, you can easily display the XYZ coordinates for any point without having to use the ID command, the list command, or the properties panel. This LISP code can also help you obtain accurate and consistent coordinates, especially if you are dealing with points that have different precision and units.

In this post, I have demonstrated how to quickly display the XYZ coordinates for a specific point in AutoCAD using a LISP code. This is an extremely useful and convenient tool that can significantly enhance your productivity and work quality when working with points in AutoCAD.
