How to dimension a point?

Hello!

I have a problem. I have couple of points on screen and I would like to write next to each point it's coordinate (x, y). For example if point is at location 100,50 it should be written on right or top (100, 50). I know how to get that coordinate by ID or show it, but I would like to automate this procedure not to first get coordinate and then use DTEXT to write that manually. I haven't work in ACAD for a long time and I wouldn't even know how to make simple function in AutoLISP, especially now in 2010 I'm currently using.

Ideally would be if I could (1) pick the point and (2) pick where I want to have displayed point coordinate. I was searching for similar solution, but I coudn't find anything useful. Maybe I'm search for wrong key words?

Can anybody help me with the simplest solution for this problem?

What is now official support language in 2010: AutoLISP, VBA, .NET? If I dive into that what should I learn for future use? Look like VBA is out, it's not even installed when you install AutoCAD.

Regards,

Billy

Do a search on AutoLISP, VBA, the CUI & Customisation area of the forum. For sure can find a routine to suit your need.

There has been a similar thread a few days ago. Have a look here.

The limitation with Fields is that you can not attach a field to a Point entity (unless someone knows differently). So you have to work around by making a block, and you can attach a Field to a block at its insertion point.

Thanks for your help guys. Soon after I post a Q I found exactly I was looking for .

I was choosing paulmcz solution from yesterdays post "Show The X,Y coordinate for a point "

Thanks!
