Obtain X,Y,Z Coordinate From Picked Point on an Assembly

Obtain X,Y,Z Coordinate From Picked Point on an Assembly

Obtain X,Y,Z Coordinate From Picked Point on an Assembly

(OP)
I have imported a large assembly from a customer.
I will be needing X,Y,Z coordinate values from a fixed point to several points in the assembly. When I use the measure command with Point 1 and Point 2 option I get the coordinates from current compass point and not from the fixed point I want. Does anyone know how this is done in Catia 5?
Thanks

RE: Obtain X,Y,Z Coordinate From Picked Point on an Assembly

Create an axis in the reference point and the tick the other axis option in the measure window.
