Hi,

>> how can we insert the axes ( X,Y) ....

what do you mean by Axis ? if you have another drawing that you want to insert then try INSERT command.

>> ....... and coordinates in the drawing view?

as i understand that you want to get coordinates for some points , try _dimordinate command or ID command and see if it's help . if NOT please describe more your issue ? 🙂

Hey @Anonymous

If I understand you correctly, probably you UCSICON is Off and you may need to turn it On, as pointed out by @Alfred.NESWADBA
By coordinates you mean to view the coordinates in the task bar? If so you can put a check mark on coordinates from the list of options (on the customization icon; 3 lines, at the bottom right hand corner)
Or is it that you want to see the coordinates on screen? Your quick properties should be On. Follow (2) above if you want to see it on the task bar.

@Anonymous hi,

start LINE command and at the first prompt enter 5,5,0 this puts the first point at x=5,y=5,z=0

you can continue enter point this way al the way or user '@' with is delta to enter point relative to your last point for example:

first point: 5,5,0

second point: @3,2 this puts the second point at x=3,y=2 relative to 5,5,0 and the real coordinates of the second point is: x=8,y=7

is that what you looked for?

Hi,

Thank you for clarification!

This type of markers can only be inserted using AutoCAD Map 3D or Autodesk Civil 3D, do you have any of these products?

AutoCAD itself does not have a ready to use function for that, you'll need to add these lines manually (e.g. building a raster in modelspace).
