It's been a decade and this video is still helpful. I watched it a few years back and only now i am applying it to my projects. Great video. Simple and easy to understand.
Thanks for a great tutorial. As a further useful enhancement the point/E/N/Ht can be grouped together to keep them as one object. Then copied as a single object to multiple locations. Regen. All updated correctly inside group. If you copyclip to new drawing you will need to group them again...groups don't appear to transfer between drawings. This was done in full AutoCAD 2018.
Amazing way of showing coordinates on screen! I wish I knew this much sooner!! Thank you! I just tested it and it works perfectly, if anyone has issues they're probably missing a step somewhere. What is even better, on autocad 2016 you don't even need to run the 'regenall' command as the coordinates update automatically every time the file is saved. Only issue I see is using a point, as if anyone tend to use points on their drawing the point styles would change everywhere. In my case I have created a symbol, converted it in a block and associated the same fields here explained. Thank you again!
This has got to be one of the best tutorials for site engineers. Is there any way of showing a + or - and value for a slab survey at all?… like to show high or low values for an as-built?
I need to do this but survey scale is in feet and drawing units is in inches. When I divide the field value by 12 in my drawing it matches the value in the survey. Is there a way to automate the field so that it accounts for the scale factor?
HI. Great, thanks. A really useful tip. I understand the coordinates are relative to the world UCS. Is there a way you can change the UCS origin so the co-ordinates treat this new location as 0,0? Many thanks.
Great video, thank you. I too have been using AutoCAD for over 14 years & didn't know this command. However, the position option is not available in AutoCAD for Mac, do you know if there's another way to achieve this please?
EXCELLENT VIDEO. IT WAS VERY HELPFUL TO ME. I AM FROM UZBEKI SORRY IN ADVANCE IF THERE ARE MISTAKES IN MY SPELLING. THIS VIDEO I COULDN'T WRITE A COMMENT, THAT'S WHY I WROTE THROUGH TRANSLATE
thank you for the information. i really like the way you explain how it do it. after watching you do it, it was easy enough to do it. you explain it so much better than all the others. could you please explain how to create a table with those co-ords. is there a easy why how to do it.
sir i try to do this practice but when i select point point property is not showing so i can not see the positions pls advise me how i have to select my point thanks
Hello, Am trying to learn how to draw a plot using the easting and northing coordinates. In here we get from out clients a paper detailing the position of their land plot (line by line) and the setbacks and neighboring elements or plot. I can draw a normal shaped plot lie a square or rectangle but the problem is if the shape is irregular. I was told that its possible to use the coordinates provided of its location and draw the plot with them. How you please explain to me how? i tried just entering the coordinates after clicking on the line command but ti didnt work.
Hi Nicadman Can I ask You please How can I create a block with automatic survey coordinates? I create one but the coordinates not changes after REA command.
hello, if I change coordinate system to my desired UCS, I still got position according to WCS, no matter of REGENALL command or anything else. Is there any help ?
I am working with a different coordinate system (not easting northing) in autocad Map3D How can i make something like this but for the current coorindate system ?
I followed everything you said but still im getting the texts in cartesian coordinate system...can somebody help me out with this.? How do i get utm coordinates?
thnx man i badly needed that method ..god bless you, i have a question , some times the area option doesnt show up in field options when i select polyline ,how can i fix that?.....i figured out how to solve that problem and that is by using BOUNDARY command that will plot an object inside your self intersecting curve regadrless the overlap........ regards,HK
Label coordinates on point doesn't match with drawing coordinates, even when I click on "update field". How to set the origin of label to be the same as the drawing coordinates?
thanks for video, but i have little different situtation, i want to set autocad file for longitude and latitude data input so i can measure the area of the plots. is it possible??
Hi Nic, I love your short clips about AutoCAD and thank you for shearing. A AutoCAD file of a customer is send to me where the units are in Meters and have some land coordinates. however when I scale it up to millimeters, the land coordinates are multiplying as well. The land coordinates in this case shouldn't change. Do you have a solution to shear. Thanks in advance!
today's date is June 29, 2020 I found this little video very useful. yet I noted that the REGENALL did not function in this circumstance for refreshing the data in the fields. (I'm using version autocad 2020) instead I used UPDATEFIELDS and chose to all the items to refresh and presto there it was.
Great tut! When I insert my field and change precision to '0', I still get 9 digits when the survey supplied to me has 6 digits (same as yours). I'm sure this would have a knock on effect when it comes to setting out?? any ideas???
Thanks very much for sharing this very useful piece of information. I am using bing maps in autocad civil 3D - 2014. This method is working but i want Geo coordinates on my design. UTM , LAT/LON format etc. If you suggest, I can send you any sample file.
Hello, i got a difficult exercise for my uni,concering a draft on Autocad.i cant find the solution to this. can i send u the photografic form of my exercise and u could try to solve it for me? and then upload a video on utube to show me how u did it?
I use wrong lisp... N=567876.908 E=675478.899 Now i want eastring is top and northing is in bottom also remove equal sign their are lots of coordinates can it possible if make change in one coordinate attomatticaly the other one change....

thanks so much, the first time I learned how to make coordinates
Hi Steve, Thanks for the great video with clear instructions to follow.
I had this kind of problem for our As-Built drawing requirements and you solved it for me. Thanks a lot Sir

Thanks man, I've been trying to find out how this is done on numerous occasions. Thank God it was explained in real English.😂😆
Nice one mate. Thanks a lot for sharing...helped a massively. Cheers!
Thank you; this is the most useful autocad tip.
Very useful information. It helps me a lot. Thx.

it was soo greatful to see your way of teaching and thanx to you to help me out....
very well explained and very happy to see this, sir nicadman
Just what i needed and thanks for such a very useful tip, more blessings to you!

Thanks for this, it helped me out no end!
Thank you for your video, it help me easily to understand
love you boss, you just made my day
Thanks! Great explanation, very helpful!
super !! i trying this program last 8 month but now i got this thanks ;)

Thank you so much, you saved my day !!!
Thank you sir..I am new to autocad and i still have trouble on how to make the coordinates appear..beacause its not comming.please help thanks again.
very very helpful.. thankyou
Wow! Very Good!
Check the units, the survey is probably set in meters where other files set in mm.
EXCELLENT VIDEO. IT WAS VERY HELPFUL TO ME. I AM FROM UZBEKI SORRY IN ADVANCE IF THERE ARE MISTAKES IN MY SPELLING. THIS VIDEO

SHUKRAAN BHAI SAHAB . THANKSS
Very help full lesson thank u.
you rock thanks!
You are a great Guy thanks alot dude
Very useful and time saving.
Hi,my autocad version is 2022,and it doesn't have that FORMAT command. How do I go about it.
Any idea how to set a base point to Easting and Northing coordinates if the drawing youre working with is not accurate?
Definitely help a lot on my work
wow very nice,

Thanks Dude.... Useful Video ....!!! :)
Thank you very much for that... Very Helpful,,, :)
Thank you
what about creating lat and lon with points or convert from N and Easting coordinates

very good info. but why the pentagon for a training aid demo? thanks. :~ƒ .
Hi there, when I select my point and go to property there is no option for position, any ideas why that might be?
when you select the point and open property in the property table geometry small arrow click so you will see position
Thank man! handy video indeed :)
today's date is June 29, 2020
I found this little video very useful.
yet I noted that the REGENALL did not function in this circumstance for refreshing the data in the fields. (I'm using version autocad 2020) instead I used UPDATEFIELDS and chose to all the items to refresh and presto there it was.
is it possible to use that if i want to have a multiple ucs in one modle? pls i wanna know how sir, thank you.
if i want to change the coordinate at the point. how can i do ? please help me
Great tut! When I insert my field and change precision to '0', I still get 9 digits when the survey supplied to me has 6 digits (same as yours). I'm sure this would have a knock on effect when it comes to setting out?? any ideas???
Martin Cunningham hiiiii
Thanks you are help me alot
U saved my life bro !!! and alot of time ofcourse ;)
THANKS
can u show these in Autodesk AutoCAD 2015 please. bcoz in it the setting are more difficult.
Thanks for give the video
great! thanks!
Sir nice vedieo i lern more more thanks sir i asking one question how to import from gps cordinate in autocad direct
Thanks a Lot

How to plot coordinates using ZWCAD 2019??
how to show these labels in Meters
Thank you nicadman
THANKS A LOT
Sir ! How can I check the coordinate whether it was right or wrong ?
Right click the coordinate and select properties, there you can see the x and y distances
usefull,thank you

Thanks! Funny how after 14 years using cad, there is still items i haven't used.
i need to learn auto cad civil 3D very fast.
where will I get that "format tab"? help please
near the top left there is a small triangle with the line above. click the triangle and select "show menu bar". that's it mate.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for this video, it worked great. Except i cant change my precision vaule... anywho, thanks again.
How to change the cordinates
I use wrong lisp...
N=567876.908
E=675478.899
Now i want eastring is top and northing is in bottom also remove equal sign their are lots of coordinates can it possible if make change in one coordinate attomatticaly the other one change....
