I see what you mean now. You are looking for the Coordinates Panel in the Ribbon. You have to change the workspace. You are currently using the standard 2D drafting workspace and you need to switch to the 3D workspace. There should be a little GEAR icon at the bottom of the screen. Left-Click that. It will open a window with a list of Workspaces. A wprkspace defines which tools are on your screen in toolbars, or in the Ribbon. The Ribbon is the "toolbar" and icons across the top of the screen. So click the gear, then click on the 3D Modeling option. This will switch your Ribbon to display the 3D tools. You will then have access to the coordinates panel in the Ribbon.

Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

you may not find such an option as you asked . BUT you can display the coordinates of the cursor by press F12 . also you can right-click the button ( down in the status bar ) to chose the type of coordinates to display. please read and follow this AKN article that may help . >> Click <<

You are describing the Coordinates Panel, not the coordinates toolbar. To get the coordinates panel, you will need to change your workspace to 3D Modeling. See image below.

Change your workspace to '3D Modeling.'
