Write Coordinates

All entities in your drawing have a position. If this position is related to a coordinate system you might want to show those coordinates. With the 'Write Coordinates' command you can place the coordinates of entities in your drawing. By default the command will use the X and Y coordinate and label them as such. You can also decide to activate the Z coordinate or disable the X or Y coordinate. If you want the command can also label the coordinates as NEH, North East and Height. You can place either a TEXT or MTEXT entity of which you set the text height. By default the command will align the text to the coordinate system. If the entities are on different height you can place the text either on that height or without elevation. The command can also categorise the layers based on that height. The categories are based on values you specify.
