Today’s tool is all about tracking your coordinate position in real-time.
For those folks that have used Autodesk software for a number of years, you may remember a coordinate tracking utility in Land Desktop. Essentially, it was a tool that would display the X,Y,Z position of your crosshairs in real-time as you moved around the screen. The Z elevation came from the current surface. (Remember when we used to have to assign which surface was current? :) )
Whether you remember the old tool or not, this functionality is also available in Civil 3D including some improvements!
Not only can we track coordinates in real-time, but we can also capture them, edit them and pass them on to be used in future commands.
Check out the video below to see how the ShowCT tool works.
