Is there a way you can bring up and see the mouse cursor co-ordinate?

This video does not solve the problem.

When drawing scketch I often need to start line at certain position. It is very hard without knowing cursor coordinates!

Surprising arrogance from the developers - users requested this featire for over 5 years already. It sould be very simple to add togglable feature.

Yes, the only correct solution is to display the coordinates the same way as ALL the other graphic design software does, as the previous user specified.

I find it easiest to draw it in Eagle and import. Eagle is part of Fusion360 now.
I agree it's not the answer to the question though.

That is the prickiest solution.  Not solved. 
Is a small X:xxx Y:yyy Z:zzz in the corner so hard?  The software obviously knows what I'm pointing at, just display it already.

I am evaluating Fusion 360 for my hobby use.  If it does not show cursor coordinates then I will not be able to use it.  If cursor coordinates are not available can I have cartesian coordinates instead of polar coordinates when drawing lines, etc.

selecting a sketch point show's it's position in the lower right corner.  if the point is not constrained to anything you can drag it around and the display keeps up with it's position.

I want to know xy of my cursor! Inventor had it and I miss it! Many time I want to draw an object 3 cm from another object. I have to draw a Line 30mm away, end Line, make it Nominal/Construction, then start my next object. Cursor coordinates is paramount!!

MS Paint has it

Illustrator has it even Better:

It's even contextual. When you move an object, it shows you where you're moving it to and how far etc:

So, if people who draw pretty pictures for a living can have it, why can't engineers who could actually seriously benefit from it???

Hello, just checking if in 2023 there is a way to show coordinates of points in a sketch. It's very important.

Hey there, new Fusion user and was really surprised when I couldn't find the cursor coordinates anywhere on screen.  Is there still no way to enable this?
