Obtaining point coordinates
One of the most important things in AutoCAD is to know precise point coordinates.
For that, we apply the next command.
The ID command
The
ID
command allows us to obtain the X, Y, and Z coordinates of points related
to the current
User Coordinate System
(
UCS
). This command can be used trans-
parently, that is, in the middle of another command, if we prefix it with a
'
(single
quotation) mark. The command only prompts for a point:
Command:
ID
Specify point:
Point
The command writes the X, Y, and Z coordinates, related to the current UCS, on the
command line:
X = 28.9427 Y = 15.0000 Z = 10.0000
