This is the standard AutoCAD ID command, used to get the coordinates of a selected position.

 

The ID command displays the UCS coordinate values of a specified location.

 

ID lists the X, Y, and Z values of the specified point and stores the coordinate of the specified point as the last point. You can reference the last point by entering @ at the next prompt that requests a point.

 

The following prompt is displayed:

 

Specify point:

 

Specifies a point.

 

The UCS coordinate values of the location are displayed at the Command prompt.

 

If you snap to an object in 3D space, the Z coordinate value is the same as that of the selected feature of the object.
