    Do you want to just see the x.y.z-coordinates, or add them as a text in your drawing?

    Try Field, if they are available in LT
    Field > Object > Object type (select point) > Position

    LT not have VBA then? Always wondered what the big difference was besides some <bad> plotting and hatching problems.

    I have on my USB stick at home, though to be fair that's for blocks, but its just as easy to do it with any entity, it's not that many lines of code, handful really

    The big difference between Full ACAD and ACAD LT is that LT does not support VBA, Lisp or any such customization.

    Before the OP comes back with more info, who knows what will work.

    Question

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I can list and id points but I need to display on the drawing in text format the xyz. Seem to come to a dead end with this on LT.
