You know this doohickey? A dynamic input tooltip? Is there a keyboard trick to copy and paste the coordinates into notepad? Would be useful to me if there was - Thanks!
(Before anyone asks, it's for a colleague using AutoCAD LT, which doesn't have a point making function - I can make points and export them using Carlson, but he can't)?ÿ
I am not sure that you can do that. You could draw a circle and copy the coordinates of the center point in Properties.
Under the command line type in note. Play with the options there, it works in my AutoCad, but not sure in older and light versions. You're able to label a point with coordinates, then you could copy/paste.
I think you are probably out of luck when it comes to using copy/paste from the dynamic input. Is there a reason you wouldn't just use the ID command and copy/paste from the command line?
CTRL-C
CTRL-V
?
Thanks for the replies!
I can try the "Note" and "ID" in the command line on the other fellows laptop on Monday - neither work in Carlson.
CtrlC/CtrlV doesn't work..
Drawing a circle and copying the centre point from properties works - but only one coordinate and then the other - would be nice to be able to copy both northing and easting together,
He will just have to manage as is or upgrade. Autocad LT just doesn't have a way to create points like a survey specific cad does.
AutoCAD LT 2024 now supports AutoLISP.

Edit
Look for something like AutoCAD copy information from rollover tooltip or AutoCAD copy information from mouseover event.
