I'm trying to uderstand how SW is coming up with the numbers for the x/y coordinates of notes. Documentation says this parameter is x/y coordinates of the middle of a note. In the standard D size sheet format for example, this line has an x coordinate value of about 29.
However, SW shows the x coordinate of the word "DRAWIN", for example, to be over 58"! What? I would like to be able to type in values for text in my title blocks to precisely align them, but these x/y numbers don't make any sense. Am I missing something? Can someone explain this to me?
Mike, the first X/Y coordinates are the start point for the line, followed by the second set of X/Y coordinates which are the end point. Below them it represents the delta length in X and Y.
Your first vertical line shows a length of 1.964~ along the Y Axis and the second shows a horizontal line that is 1.691~ in length along the X Axis.
Ninja Edit: The third box represents the start point of the text, at least I believe it's supposed too ... Though the numbers shown do not seem to be valid. It appears as if they are 2x the value they should be, but honestly I don't know. Sorry ...
