Cursor Tracking

This tool is used to track the coordinates of the AutoCAD cursor in multiple coordinate systems. You can control additional options such as use of commas and DMS format, as well as the number of decimal places.

Keyboard Command: PrjCurTrk

When this tool is first launched, only the AutoCAD coordinates will be displayed. If you have assigned a coordinate system to the current drawing, that system will be displayed in the first row. Otherwise the work "ACAD" will be displayed. As you add additional systems, they will appear in the secondary rows. This information is stored (in the registry) so they reappear in additional sessions.

Coordinate Notes:

• Use the (+) button to add additional systems, selecting them from a list.
• To remove a system, click on its row and choose the (-) button.
• To get additional information about a system, choose the (!) button.
• If the projected values fall outside the range of the system, the cell results are left blank.

Options Menu:

• Use Commas determines if the output numbers contain commas for large values.
• Use DMS Format controls whether the output is Degrees, Minutes & Seconds or Decimal Degrees.
• Show Elevation controls whether that column is displayed.
• Echo ID Results determines if the projected values from AutoCAD's ID command are echoed (to the command prompt).
