Display Point Coordinates in ACTCAD

COORDSLABEL – Display Coordinates as Labels in ACTCAD

The COORDSLABEL command in ACTCAD is used to insert text labels showing the X, Y, or Z coordinates of selected points in a drawing. This command is highly useful in surveying, civil, architectural, and mapping workflows, where precise spatial referencing of specific points is required for construction or documentation.

Step 1: Launch the COORDSLABEL Command

• Type COORDSLABEL in the command bar and press Enter.

Step 2: Select Points to Label

• Click on the points in the drawing where you want the coordinates labeled.
• Ensure OSNAP is turned on (F3) for accurate endpoint or intersection selection.
• After selecting each point, ACTCAD will place the corresponding label as MTEXT near the point.

Step 3: Finalize Placement

• Press Enter when done.
• Labels are inserted in the drawing and can be moved or formatted like any MTEXT object.

Cross-Verification of Coordinate Labels

• Use the ID command to click the same point and read its X/Y/Z values.
• Use the LIST command on geometry to verify exact vertex positions.
• Use the PROPERTIES palette (CTRL + 1) to confirm coordinates of selected geometry.
• Always turn on OSNAP (Endpoint, Node, Intersection) for accurate selection.

Conclusion:

The COORDSLABEL command in ACTCAD provides a quick and accurate method for labeling point coordinates directly in your drawings. It enhances precision, streamlines documentation, and supports technical workflows across multiple disciplines. Whether for layout planning, survey referencing, or civil design, COORDSLABEL simplifies coordinate tagging within your projects.

Conclusion:

The CONVERTPOLY command in ACTCAD is a powerful utility that helps users optimize drawings for performance, compatibility, or 3D modeling precision. By converting between lightweight and heavy poly lines, you can tailor your drawing entities to match the needs of modern or legacy workflows. Whether you're preparing drawings for export, editing 3D layouts, or cleaning up imported geometry, CONVERTPOLY ensures you’re using the right poly line type for the task.
