Add GCS option to "Label Coordinate" tool

In OBD Label Coordinate there is the option to choose "ACS" or "Global origin". Please add an option for the "GCS" so that X/Y/Z values can be displayed in geographical coordinates.

    In addition to my previous comment:

    Of couse in case of using the GCS coordinates it shouldn't matter how many nested levels deep the reference is taken because the "Building" model and "Site model" from my example should be set in such a way that the same point always has the same GCS coordinate. Still remains the issue that it has to look 1 or 2 levels down when the tool is used in a drawing / sheet model respectively.

    In reply to Dominic Seah:

    I agree that the label tool should work in Drawing and Sheet model. However that doesn't necessarily mean that we want the label coordinate to refer to the deepest referenced level. For example I might have a model of a building close to the Design File Center (should be equal to the GO), then reference it in a site model. Then the label coordinate should use the ACS/GO of the site model, not the building model (depending on the need).

    At this moment I think that the Label Coordinate already looks into the referenced model because it does show the Z coordinate even in a 2D drawing model. But I'm not sure how many nested levels it goes, maybe only 1.

    Need to ensure that the Label coordinate tool can read the ACS or GO in the referenced model and NOT just the ACS or GO in the active model where the Label is being placed.


    This includeds Ref attachments nested several levels deep.


    Users need to be able to Label in both the Drawing and Sheet models. Ie 'anywhere'.
