The Coordinate Info panel, 
, allows you to retrieve individual point data on any curve in the active window. When a point on a curve is selected, the point data is displayed on the panel.
Coordinate Info panel
Using the coordinate info panel you can retrieve data from three curve types: 3D line, surface, and waterfall. The panel options change depending on the curve in the active window.
There are three ways to retrieve point data from a curve:
| • | Pick a point from a curve. |
| • | Locate a point using the Find point controls. |
| • | Select a point from the point list. |
Locate a point on a curve using the Find point controls.
Cross hairs indicate the currently selected data point. Information about the point is displayed on the panel.
When using 3-D line curves, the application centers the row in the table containing the X, Y, and Z values.
|
The following data is displayed when a point is picked.
If you click a point on a surface or waterfall curve, the Add Row, Remove Row, and Clear Table buttons are enabled if currently disabled. Conversely, if you click a point on a line curve, the Add Row, Remove Row, and Clear Table buttons are disabled if currently enabled.
Note The options change depending upon the curve type selected.

The point list displays the XYZ data points for the selected curve. Use the scroll bars to view the entire list. When you select a row from the point list, the row is highlighted, the point data is displayed in the fields to the left of the table, and cross-hairs are displayed at the row's XYZ values.
After selecting a row from the table, choose from the following options to manipulate the data table.
Note The Add Row, Remove Row, and Clear Table options are only available for waterfall and surface curves. They are disabled for line curves.

Add Row
|
A row is added to the table and the cross hairs are moved to the next set of XYZ values in the table.
|
Remove Row
|
The row is removed from the table and the cross hairs are moved to the next set of XYZ values in the table.
|
Clear Table
|
All rows in the table are removed. One row is created with 0, 0, 0 for the XYZ columns.
|
Export Table
|
Allows you to export the data in the table to a .csv file.
