How to find coordinates of selected item

cgabbott

I can click on a component, or pin, or anything else but how can I find its location ?

The command window shows me the location I clocked to select the pin for example, I want to see the coordinates for the center of the pin, HELP

    Either right-click>Show Element with the object selected, or Display>Element and then pick the object, check the Find tab for selectable objects in both cases, you will get "everything" about the object, including location.
