To Use Coordinate Filters to Specify a Point in 3D

  1. At the prompt for a point, enter a coordinate filter (.x, .y, .z, .xy, .xz, or .yz).

    For example, enter .x to specify the X value first.

  2. To extract the specified coordinate values, specify a point.

    For example, if you previously entered .x, the X value is extracted from this point.

  3. At the prompt for the remaining coordinates, do one of the following:
    • Extract the remaining coordinate values by specifying a point.
    • Enter another coordinate filter.

    For example, if you previously entered .x, specify a second point to extract the Y and Z coordinates simultaneously, or enter .y or .z to specify Y and Z values separately.

    The new point location combines the coordinate values extracted from the previously specified points.

Note: Instead of specifying a point, you can enter a numeric value at any coordinate filter prompt.
