You can also define coordinates using the Pinprick tool, which allows you to click anywhere on the map display and retrieve the coordinates of that location. The coordinates are also specified based on the coordinate display format you are using.

The Pinprick tool works even when no layers are loaded in the current map.

4. Choose a row in the grid on the Input tab by clicking the row header cell.
5. Click the Pinprick button on the Production Feature Builder toolbar.
