Coordinate Filters

Combines X, Y, and Z values from different points to specify a single point

Inquiry toolbar:
Command line: Enter .x, .y, .xy, .xz, or .yz


At any AutoCAD LT prompt for locating a point, you can enter point filters to specify a single coordinate by extracting the X, Y, and Z values of several points. In this example, the starting point for the line will have a coordinate constructed from the X value of the midpoint of the first object you select, together with the Y and Z values of the midpoint of the second object you select.

LINE From point: .X of MID of <Select an object>
(need YZ) MID of <Select another object>
To point: <Specify another point>
