    Default x,y coords and fields

    Howdy y'all.

    I've been trying to find a way to display the x,y coordinates in a drawing (see here). Ordinate dims are cumbersome. It's been suggested that I create a block with fields in the attributes for the coords. I don't see a field for this. Does anyone have suggestions? TIA

    First insert the block, the x,y,z, will be determined by the insertion point.
    type field, go to Objects, select the block, go to position, then you will have the options for
    the x,y,z the the units as your wish
