Map 3D - Tracking Coordinates on the Fly

AutoCAD Map 3D provides a simple way to obtain or enter coordinates from one system, (Lat/Long, for instance), in a drawing which is based on an entirely different system (such as State Plane). This tool is called Coordinate Tracking.

You can select from hundreds of supported coordinate systems, and then see a real-time conversion in the Track Coordinates Palette. Your base drawing coordinates will be displayed normally in the AutoCAD status bar, and the secondary coordinates will be displayed in the floating palette. As you move the cursor and work with entities, both sets of coordinates are available. You can then enter converted coordinates into an active command, by typing them (or pasting them) into the palette and clicking the Digitize button. The converted coordinates are then passed on to the command line.
