coordination block

hello everyone,

ive been trying to create a block which displays the coordinations of a point anywhere in the map.

but it doesnt work, the block keeps only displaying the coordinates once and never changes whereever i move the point to.

i hope im a bit clear on what i want seeing as english is not my native

language.

thanks in advance.

Are you displaying the coordinates using a lisp routine?

Take a look at this:

You will need to use fields in your block these will change as you move I haven't done it but when creating your attributes there is the option to use a field and it can be the x and y values.

I have seen this here on this forum search a bit more.

with the command attdef i insert the fields i want:

catagory = object

object type = point => position

format = decimals

boxes X and Y are selected

the point determines the XY coordinates which will be then displayed in a block (i wrapped the point and text created with attdef up to a block)

problem is the coordinates dont show or it only shows it only the first time, but it never changes as it should when moving the point around.

Try a regen after moving the block.

The system variable Fieldeval is saved per dwg. Try setting it to 31.
