Revit 2023: How to display the XY coordinates?
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you want to display coordinates like shown in the map then you'll have to be able to know/provide the coordinates to Revit. That's either through importing a survey and using Acquire Coordinates or if you know what the intended coordinates are for some location on the building you can use Specify Coordinates at Point.
Then you can use Spot Coordinates annotation to display coordinates relative to the site's coordinates.

What I meant here is just to display the coordinates in Revit the same way they appear in AutoCAD as per the screenshot below

You can't. That is the coordinates of the crosshair in AutoCAD. There is no such thing in Revit.
You can use spot coordinate and will report your XY. However I rarely use this because building can have arbitrary XY.
Revit doesn't display coordinates as you move around but you can use Report Shared Coordinates anytime. Select the tool, click on a point and it will tell what the coordinates are. But as @syman2000 wrote, unless you define shared coordinates those coordinates may be meaningless.
