Coordinates are reported with respect to the shared coordinate system. See
Spot coordinates can be placed on floors, walls, toposurfaces, and boundary lines. You can also place spot
coordinates on non-horizontal surfaces and non-planar edges. When you display the elevation of the selected
point in addition to the spot coordinates, you can place the spot coordinate in the same locations you can
place a spot elevation.
To place spot coordinates:
1 Click Drafting menu
Bar, click Spot Dimension
2 In the Type Selector, select the type of spot coordinate to place.
3 On the Options Bar, select or clear the Leader option. If the Leader option is selected, optionally
select the Shoulder option. This adds a bend to the spot elevation leader.
4 If you want the elevation to display in addition to the spot coordinates:
a Click
b In the Element Properties dialog, click Edit/New.
c Under Text, select the Include Elevation option.
5 Select an edge of an element or a point on a toposurface.
When you move the cursor over an element on which you can place the spot coordinate, the
spot coordinate value appears in the drawing area.
6 If you are placing a spot coordinate:
without a leader, click to place it.
with a leader, move the cursor away from the element, and click to place the spot coordinate.
with a leader and a shoulder, move the cursor away from the element. Click once to place
the leader shoulder. Move the cursor again and then click to place the spot coordinate.
7 To finish, on the Design Bar, click Modify.
If you select a spot coordinate after placing it, you can move it using the drag controls. If you delete an
element that is referenced or turn off its visibility, the spot coordinate is removed.
To modify the appearance of the spot elevation, select it and click
