CADtools_AutoCAD_Text_PolylineCoord_32

 

Summary:

Displays coordinate text at each vertex of a polyline

 

Description:

The user is prompted for the text height (and colour if the height is non-standard). Any number of entities may be selected; those which are 2D polylines will have X- and Y- coordinates displayed at their vertices (aligned to the current UCS), while 3D polylines will also have Z-coordinates displayed.

If the polyline is modified (vertices moved, rotated, etc.) the coordinate text will automatically ‘follow’ the vertices to their new positions. If the UCS is changed, the coordinates will be  updated and their alignment changed to the new UCS angle.

 

Command: PCT

Enter Text Height [1.8/2.5/3.5/5/7] <2.5> : Enter text height

Select objects: Select polyline(s)
