Sure it can be done, I just didn't know if you wanted to select the database
record or something from the drawing
In the DataView window for the table, from the menu, select
Highlight->AutoHighlight and AutoZoom
Then Highlight->ZoomScale and set the zoom scale to whatever works best for
your drawing
With these options set, select the desired record and Map will zoom to the
object and highlight it.
You don't need the coordinates in the record for this to work, but they are
nice to have at other times.
