Tracking Coordinates
As you move the cursor around in a drawing window, you can display the
cursor location in the coordinate systems you choose.
For example, if an attached drawing uses one coordinate system and the
current drawing uses another, you can track the source drawing's coordinates
as you move the cursor around in the current drawing. You can track multiple
coordinate systems in the Track Coordinates pane.
The coordinate tracker automatically converts coordinate data from the
coordinate system of the map to any coordinate system you select. If you
move your cursor outside the extents of the converted coordinate system, you
will see null values in the tracker. However, if you are tracking coordinates
using the same coordinate system as your map, the tracker will continue to
display coordinates even beyond the boundaries of the coordinate system.
Because you are tracking coordinates in the same coordinate system as the
map, no conversion in performed, and AutoCAD Map 3D will always return
coordinate values.
You can also use the coordinate tracker to create features using the Digitize
button.
