AutoCAD - How to display coordinates of my object

[arshad75shahK26UX]

I need help! I hope you can help me. I draw a polyline object and I want to show all the coordinates (x,y) of my polyline object when I just click on the polyline object.
Is it possible?

Hi,

you can see onle one information about the Vertex, but you can walk thru all of them.

CTRL+1 PropertiesPalette -> select Vertex, there are tiny arrows to jump forward/backward.

All together? Command LIST, see the result in Textscreen: [F2]

Open the properties panel (Ctrl+1).

Click on the field Current Vertex - below you will see the coordinates of the first vertex.

Click on the arrow to change the number of the vertex - you will see the coordinates of the remaining vertices.

I think I could not make my point clear to you.

I want all the coordinates to appear on my AutoCAD screen with just one click of the polyline because I don't want to type.

I hope I have explained my point to you properly.

Hello @arshad75shahK26UX 

<<….I want to show all the coordinates (x,y) of my polyline object…..>>

There is no magic button you can click to display ‘all coordinates’ of your polyline. The best you can do is display the coordinates of your mouse as you move it from vertex-to-vertex. When your mouse ‘locks on’ to a vertex, the grip will change from blue to red.

To display your mouse coordinates do this:

1. Click the Customize toolbar button then check coordinates at the top of the menu. 
2. The statubar will display the coordinates of you cursor.

Hi Arshad,
Welcome to the Autodesk Forums.
You can create a block with X,Y attributes to label each vertice, like >>>Here<<< and >>>Here<<<.

If you don't what to do repetitive tasks that could be automated, you can learn a lit bo LISP... so you can do THIS.

(vl-load-com)

(defun c:PlineXYLabels ( / v p j o)

  (princ "\nSelect polyline, ")

  (if (and (setq v (ssget "_+.:E:S" '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE"))))
	   (setq v (vl-remove-if '(lambda (x) (/= (car x) 10)) (entget (ssname v 0))))
	   (setq p (getpoint "\nSpecify baseline point for X labels: "))
	   (setq h (getvar 'textsize))
	   (setq o (* h 6))
	   )
    (foreach e v
      (entmake (list '(0 . "TEXT") (cons 40 h) (cons 50 (/ pi 2))
		     (list 10 (cadr e) (cadr p)) (list 11 (cadr e) (cadr p))
		     (cons 1 (rtos (cadr e)))))
      (entmake (list '(0 . "TEXT") (cons 40 h) (cons 50 (/ pi 2))
		     (list 10 (cadr e) (+ o (cadr p))) (list 11 (cadr e) (+ o (cadr p)))
		     (cons 1 (rtos (caddr e)))))))
  (princ)
  )

The shown are not coordinates it is (X,Y Values) may be and can be written with this LISP at a distance as u like

I don't understand -- what can coordinates be if they are not X,Y values?  Can you describe what you mean in more detail?
