AutoCAD 2022: How to stick the xyz coordinates for a set of points in a dynamic table,

I the screenshot below (the dwg file is attached), I couldn’t figure out the best approach on how to stick the xyz coordinates for a set of points in a adynamic table

You have 10 points. You want the x, y, z values for each point and you want to organize and display the coordinates in a table.

You could use the DATAEXTRACTION wizard to get the coordinates for each point. The wizard will either place the Data Table in your drawing or create an external file such as a spreadsheet. If you create an external spreadsheet you can edit the file, i.e., add or delete columns, edit column headings, change font and font height, add background color, etc. etc.

The Table won’t be dynamic. If any point is modified you’ll need to run DATAEXTRACTION again. If you saved the .dxe file you can reuse it so you don’t have to re-enter the parameters to rebuild the new Table.

You should also consider using an attributed block where the attribute would be a point ID. As it is now there’s no way to identify which row in your Table corresponds to which point. The blocks would have ID’s such as 101, 102, 103, and your Table would have a column heading named ID.

... or the hard way with a FIELD for each and very point (OBJECT>POSTION)

Any reason you are not using Map3D (free for subscribers of AutoCAD) or C3D in the first place?
