Displaying a Presentation Object in the Coordinates Window

23.04.2021

In the coordinates window, you can display any presentation object, such as a table with embedded calculation results. The text is then automatically updated each time the cursor is moved, so that embedded calculations referring to the current cursor positions always remain current.

Using the Properties dialog box:

1.Use your right mouse button to click on the coordinates window and select Coordinates Properties. The command can also be found in the ribbon under Cursor Tools/Cursors[Cursors] > Show Coordinate Window > Coordinate Window Properties.

2.On the Coordinates Window tab, select the option Object under Display in window.

3.In the text box, specify the name of the object to be displayed with the extension corresponding to the object type, or select an object from the list.

Using drag-and-drop:

1.Enable the cursors in the object in whose coordinates window you would like to display a presentation object so that the coordinates window appears.

2.Now drag the object that should appear in the coordinates window from the Object List into the coordinates window. Make sure that you do not activate the Object List by clicking on it, otherwise the coordinates window will disappear.
