Coordinate Table

Add a list of coordinates in table form to the drawing with the option of labelling and adding the coordinates to the points.

This function allows you to view the Coordinate Table Setup where you can indicate the points to be included in the table.

The generated table is drawn using the current table style, which can be set in the Table Style option.

Be sure to set the desired table style before starting this function. The table can be edited after placing it in the drawing by selecting it and clicking Edit Table in the Properties Bar. The coordinate values are right justified regardless of the table style setting so the coordinates line up correctly.
