Hi Michael....

> You can use the "Move" command
Yes, it work also in 3D View, nice.... !

Then how to check the location of an object ?

Hi Anis,

> Then how to check the location of an object ?

Just run any drawing command - draw line, curve, circle, etc... it doesn't matter which one.

Then for the first point, move your mouse to that location so the point that is being picked snaps on to that spot and it will be displayed in that xyz control.

Probably at some point in the future there will be a special "analyze point" command when I get a chance to do a batch of analysis/metric type tools.

A "point object" like you are showing there is just not that frequently used, so it would not really do much good to only display coordinates when one of those special objects are selected.

When you created that point object, that would have actually been a good time to look at the xyz control to see what numeric location it was being positioned at.

Hi Michael....

Any of the tools that draw-move-scale that produce the "snap points" will populate the coords field with the value you want.

Hi Anis,

re: Also I need to know the location of a "vertex".

Just use the exact same technique that I mentioned in the previous message (here)

Again - that is to just run any command that picks points within it, for example the line command.

Move your mouse to that vertex of the box, and then the active point will snap on to it - if it doesn't then it means that you have turned "Object Snap" off - turn it on again in that case by clicking on it in the bottom toolbar so that it is highlighted in orange.

When the point currently being drawn is snapped on to that vertex (it will display as "end" since it is at the end of an edge), then the xyz control will hold the value that you want.

Hi Burr & Michael...

Thanks for the tips.
Yes, it work !

Ehm, you can grab the object (e.g. a corner of rectangle or point), hold mouse down and and start typing coordinates via keyboard, then <Enter> :)
You can use absolute or relative coordinate - e.g. 3,3 or r1,1

Except the relative doesn't work in V2. Why?

Hi Petr,

> Except the relative doesn't work in V2. Why?

It's a bug that was introduced back with CPlane support in v2. The bug happened to be masked if a there were previous point picks before the relative coordinate entry within the same command (such as with drawing a line, etc..).

I've got it fixed up for the next beta, thanks for reporting it!
