Displaying Coordinates on the Status Bar

AutoCAD LT displays the current cursor location as a coordinate on the status bar at the bottom of the screen.

There are three types of coordinate display:

• Dynamic display updates the X,Y,Z coordinate location as you move the cursor.
• Distance and angle display updates the relative distance (distance<angle) as you move the cursor. This option is available only when you draw lines or other objects that prompt for more than one point.
• Static display updates the X,Y,Z coordinate location only when you specify a point.

You can cycle through the three types of coordinate display by double-clicking the coordinate display or by pressing F6 or CTRL+D. Another method is to set the COORDS system variable to 0 for static display, 1 for dynamic display, or 2 for distance and angle display.
