Why I am doing this is if I want to choose a point in house corner,
I may take 2pts x1,y1 and x2,y2 and that average in excel.
This process is quite crazy for 1 monitor computer without using paper seperately to mark down the x,y values...

Not sure how it blends with Excel, but actually if you use the "Point list picking" tool, the picked point will automatically be saved in the clipboard (with a specific format: CC_POINT_#0(6.118000;26.006996;-1.494000) )

Maybe a macro would be able to decode that and dispatch the values in the right place.

Of course, with the 'Point list picking' tool, one can also export the list as a CSV/TXT file which would be also easy to import in Excel?
