Coordinates Destination dialog
This dialog allows users to automatically populate the X and Y coordinates of a report from a pointer location on the map. Once the pointer has been clicked on a particular location on the map, the dialog can be used to copy the current X and Y coordinates onto suitable fields of a report, or onto the clipboard for pasting in other fields.
The dialog is displayed when Use/Copy Coordinates is selected from the options launcher in the Tools group of the Map tab, or when the CtrlL+M keyboard shortcut is used, and a map location is subsequently clicked on.
