Annotate the coordinates of a point

I know how to "Id" the coordinates of a point, the result will only show in the command lines; However I want to annotate the result on the drawings, what is the way  or command. just as easy as we do the dimensions?  I saw some discussions on line which seem to include many steps starting with creating block.

What coordinates do you want to label?  Could you post an example of what you want it to look like? 

If your looking for quick and kind of easy?

1. make circle

2. make mtext

3.  make mtext coincident with circle

4. add field in mtext for circle center.

Depending on what you want, leader etc. will depend on how this label is made.

I have a survey and I want to annotate the coordinates of a point automatically, it shouldn't be manually inputted.

The steps shown above make a label that is automatic. The greyed portion of the text is a field.

Attached is a "survey drawing" we create for the homes we do precast walls for.  I created a dynamic block, named "BULLSEYE", for the target locations the surveyor would place pins at.  The attributes shown are the X,Y coordinates of the center of the block.   I used color 255,255,255 for the attribute color so it doesn't show up on our drawings.  You can change that in block editor.

We use ATTOUT to extract those values to a text file then import into a spreadsheet used for diagonals.  So far, the surveyors have commented on how useful the spreadsheet is.  They can also take the attached drawing and upload it into their instruments.  That part is beyond my scope, I just know it works.

 

How this helps.
