Tips
■ If the coordinate tracker remains empty as you move the cursor in the
drawing window, either there is no coordinate system assigned to the
current drawing or the cursor is in a region of the window that is not valid
for the specified coordinate system. You cannot track coordinates in layout
space.
■ You can track coordinates using the coordinate system of a specific attached
drawing. In Map Explorer, right-click the attached drawing ➤ Track
Drawing's Coordinates. The Track Coordinates pane opens, preset to the
specified attached drawing's coordinate system. If Track Drawing's
Coordinates is not available, there is no coordinate system assigned to the
attached drawing.
