You can use the Coordinate Tracker to view and capture X, Y, and Z drawing coordinates.
The Coordinate Tracker displays the X and Y coordinates of the cursor in the drawing. If the cursor is within the boundary of a specified surface, the surface level at the location of the cursor is displayed as the Z coordinate.
You can send the coordinate information to the command line for use in the active command, or you can copy the information for use in another application.
Because the Coordinate Tracker is an AutoCAD palette, you can use Auto-hide to minimize the display space it requires. You can also dock, move, and resize it. For more information about Auto-hide and AutoCAD palettes, see About the Common Features of the Toolspace and Panorama Windows.
