Hello everyone,
I have a Journal file that allows me in drafting to click a point, and add a note with leader containing the X, Y, and Z value of that point (see below) that was based loosely off of another that created a table of points. Now I was asked to remove the "Point #" part, and list the XYZ coordinate values (stacked) with leader from the point. However the XYZ's need to be boxed, and I can only assume you need to use a tabular note to make the box possible. Could anyone help me to convert the journal below to a tabular note rather than just a note? Sadly it has been far to long since I have played with code, and am getting all spun around on this one.
UPDATED: ADDED SCREENSHOT FOR EXAMPLE OF OUTPUT
Thanks in advance.
