Measure Position

Measure Position reports the coordinates of a position, measured from the origin of the current Coordinate Reference System.

Click at the required position on the screen.

An Information box shows the coordinates as X, Y and Z components.

Units shown are the current linear units and decimal place settings as set in the Coordinate Reference Systems dialog. To change units go to CRS (Home > Map), Units tab.

Click the Copy to clipboard button to copy the values to the Windows clipboard as text.

When pasted back, the values are placed as a text item at the centre of the current map window. They can also be pasted into a text dialog box or a spreadsheet.
