To Change the Coordinate Tracker Coordinate Capture Keys

Change the capture key sequence that suspends coordinate tracking and captures the current X, Y, and Z values.

The coordinate capture keys are the keys you press to capture the current X, Y, and Z drawing coordinates. Then you can either send the values to the command line or copy them for use in another application.

The capture key sequence always consists of any combination of Ctrl, followed by Alt and/or Shift, followed by a single character key. The following are examples of valid capture key combinations:

• Ctrl+Shift+Z
• Ctrl+Alt+Z
• Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Z

The default coordinate capture key sequence is Ctrl+Shift+Z.

You change the coordinate capture keys by clicking and entering the new key sequence.

1. Click View tabPalettes panelCoordinate Tracker Find.
2. In the Coordinate Tracker, click .
3. Press and hold down Ctrl.
4. While holding down Ctrl, press and hold down Alt and/or Shift.
5. While holding down the other keys, press and hold down a single character key.
6. Release all keys.

   The Coordinate Capture Keys edit box displays the sequence of keys that you entered. If the Coordinate Capture Keys edit box is not updated, the sequence of keys that you entered is not valid. This can occur if the sequence does not begin with Ctrl followed by either Shift or Alt, or if the sequence is reserved for another function on your computer.
