How to Label Point Coordinates ACTCAD

Step-wise Procedure:

Step 1 : Launch the INSERTPOINTSVALUES Command

Type INSERTPOINTSVALUES in the command bar and press Enter.

Step 2 : Select Point Entities

Use the cursor to window-select or click individual point entities. Only POINT elements will be processed. Press Enter when the selection is complete.

Step 3 : Set Text Height

When prompted 'Specify text height:', enter a numeric value (for example, 2.5) or click on-screen to define the label height.

Step 4 : Set Distance from Point

When prompted 'Specify distance between point and text:', enter a numeric value (for example, 5) or pick a point on-screen to set how far the label is offset from the point.

Step 5 : Select Coordinates to Display

ACTCAD will prompt you to choose which coordinate values to display (X, Y, Z). Select the desired coordinates and press Enter.

Step 6 : Review Generated Labels

The command creates an MTEXT label for each selected point showing the chosen coordinates. Labels are placed offset from each point by the distance you specified.

Step 7 : Verify and Adjust

Visually inspect the labels. If labels overlap or are the wrong size, edit the MTEXT or rerun the command with a different text height or offset distance.

Conclusion

The INSERTPOINTSVALUES command streamlines adding coordinate annotations to point entities, improving clarity for survey, civil, and GIS workflows while saving manual labeling effort.
