So why is that coordinate display
always showing in the bottom left corner of your AutoCAD screen?
Well, let's see. You can tell if your
units are set to Architectural by looking at the numeric format. Saves you
the time of having to check the units dialogue box.
Another very nice feature of the
coordinate display, is that you can check multiple distances from a start
point while in a command. Try this. Start the line command and
pick the first point, preferably on an object, say the corner of a
rectangle. Now hover your mouse over the Endpoint snaps of the other
corners. Voila! You can now check the distance to multiple snap points,
dynamically on the screen! The running Osnap's override the actual
curser position and snap to the accurate geometry for your distances.
Sure beats having to use the distance command multiple times, or worse yet,
create multiple dimensions that have to be erased to simply check a few
distances.
