Changing the Status Bar Coordinate Display

Use the DisplayCoords command to specify the mode to track your pointer movements on the status bar.

To change the status bar coordinate display:

  1. Type DisplayCoords at the command prompt.

  2. Specify an option:

    • Dynamic. Absolute coordinates are constantly updated on the status bar when you move your pointer.

    • Relative. When prompted for a distance or angle, the distance and angle from the last specified point are displayed when you move the pointer, otherwise absolute coordinates are displayed.

    • Static. Coordinate display updates only when clicking in the graphics area.
