I've always wished that the Select Elements tool from the Tools Toolbar had a "Copy Coordinates" item in the right-click context menu, that would copy the coordinates at the point you right-click, using the Data Frame's Display Units.

Yes! Please!  This would be super handy for pasting coordinates into reports or other applications.

Hi @StaceMaples 

ArcGIS Desktop retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea. We recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application. 

ArcGIS Pro supports copying coordinates directly from the map by right-click > copy coordinates. 

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. We truly appreciate your contributions to continuously improving the software to help you do your work and look forward to what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro.
