Insert custom symbol by Drawing coordinates
Insert custom symbol by Drawing coordinates
(OP)
I defined a custom symbol (text entity) within a drawing, and defined the Anchor with Point Dialog, to X=0, Y=0. This portion went fine.
Now I want to insert the symbol (Insert, Symbol, Custom) in another drawing at the coordinates X=0, Y=0, but I cannot find any options to simply type in drawing coordinates.
Can anyone help me?

RE: Insert custom symbol by Drawing coordinates
That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
I had tried that originally, but had gotten thrown off in the very last step, thinking I had to select an object as requested in the dialog. All I had to do is click OK, then Cancel. Interestingly I had clicked OK, but there was no response from NX (other than blinking the 'Point' dialog off then back on again). I did not know I had to click Cancel at this point. Had the symbol appeared after clicking OK, I would have thought to Cancel out of the dialog.
Thanks again John.
