Specify an exact x,y,z location

The Absolute X,Y,Z command places a vertex or a point feature at an exact x,y,z coordinate location. A z-value can be specified if the feature is z-aware. This command is available if you are actively creating a feature and right-click the active map or scene.

When you specify an absolute x,y,z location, consider the following:

• The Z parameter is available only with z-aware point, line, and polygon features.
• To add additional units to the units drop-down list, add them as location units to the project unit option settings.

To place a vertex or a point feature at an exact x,y,z location, complete the following steps:

1. Click a template in the Create Features pane and choose a construction tool.
2. Right-click the map and click Absolute X,Y,Z , or press the F6 key.

   The Absolute X,Y,Z dialog box appears.

3. Choose a units format, type the x,y,z coordinates, and press Enter.

   

4. Continue sketching the feature, or click Finish or press F2 if you're finished.
