Coordinates are off: ON ◆ Angle/Distance ◆ <OFF>: To turn on the real-time display of x,y,z-coordinates on the status line, choose ON. For example:

     2.3456, 3.4567, 0.0000

The z-coordinate usually displays 0, unless you set the elevation to a nonzero value, or you are drawing a three-dimensional entity.

To display relative coordinates:

Coordinates are on: OFF ◆ Angle/Distance ◆ <ON>: To have coordinates displayed in relative polar coordinates, choose Angle/Distance. For example:

     Length = 1.2345 @ Angle = 45.6789

The relative polar coordinates are only displayed during a drawing command.

To turn off the coordinate display:

Coordinates are set to Angle/Distance: ON ◆ OFF ◆ <Angle/Distance>: To turn off the real-time display of coordinates, choose OFF. The coordinate display is updated each time you click the screen.
