Overview of Measuring Coordinate Geometry

Use the inquiry commands to extract geometric information from drawing

objects such as lines, curves, closed polylines, and polygons. This can help

you verify the accuracy of your data, or send the data to the field.

NOTE Inquiry commands are specific to drawing objects. They do not work on

geospatial features.

NOTE The COGO inquiry commands use the World Coordinate System (WCS)

and ignore current User Coordinate System (UCS) settings. Therefore, north is

always considered to point along the WCS positive Y axis, and inquiry results are

reported in WCS coordinates.
