    Default x,y coordinate block

    I've been asked to put the x,y coordinates on parts of a drawing. Does anyone have a block they'd be willing to share or an idea how to do this quickly? TIA

    Is this lisp any good for you? I use it for setting out co-ordinates.

    create a block with attributes that contain fields for x and y coordinates

    This was my first thought. Unfortunately I'm not that savvy on fields and I haven't put together a block in years. I'd appreciate helpful tips.

    This works. I'd like to have a way to adjust the number of decimals though. For what we're doing, I want the maximum number of places I can. Thanks!

    A block with field attributes would be a better option I suppose, that way if they get get moved the coordinates would update. If you're going to make one I'd be happy to borrow it from you

    I'd love to. But I don't see a field expression that gives the x,y coords. Maybe a DIESEL expression, but I'm not savvy on that either.

    I got a block from here somewhere, the drawing name is dynamic point, you could probably try that, it also has an elevation, but you can remove that portion
