With you cursor over a plan view just start typing, a "X Y Z" panel will appear. Values are seperated by spaces. ie "10.12 12.56 0".

If you start typing when cursor is over a section view, a "CH Ht" panel will appear.

Should mention you need to have a string creation/editor running with appending HIPs for the typing coordinates to work.

Easiest way is to use CAD Lines icon on the CAD toolbar. This creates a 2 point super string, just select icon and start typing.
