Hi Lamar, you can use the Transform > Move command to move a point to a specific x,y,z location.

Start by selecting the point and then run Transform > Move.

At the "Pick base point" prompt snap on to the point.

Then at the "Pick target point" prompt you can type in an x,y,z coordinate and push Enter.

re:

When you're drawing the line initially you are inside of the "pointpicker" mechanism. When you are in this mode you an type in an x,y,z coordinate and the pointpicker will use that for the point.

When you are not in a command yet you're in "Selection mode". When in selection mode it's not asking you for a point so typing in an x,y,z coordinate at this time won't have the same effect as when you are in a point picker.

I do want to update selection mode to display the x,y,z coordinates of a selected point in the properties panel with a way to set it like you were expecting.

Currently though you can use Transform > Move.

Thanks, - Michael
