Related to #359 (but I feel that one is a little less specific or clear).
There is a naming inconsistency here BTW, on the toolbar there is a Measure group (as gauged by the pop-up ToolTip) and on the Tools menu there is an Info submenu that is identical (to wit a Measure-Info inconsistency).
This group could/should IMHO have a "Point Coordinate" entry, which just prints to console points as they are selected.
Easy to add, as the "Measure > Polygon Area" tool already does this, it just takes some experimenting to find that work around and to ignore the masses of Area prints you don't want is all and work it out - i.e. it isn't intuitive or the intended use of that tool.
I find myself often wanting to coordinates of selected points, when compiling console commands. And I am using this work around but I feel that a dedicated tool is warranted as a) it took me some while to work out I could use the Polygon Tool for this and b) It's very noisy and not a nice tool for the job (I just want the point coordinates).
Also, the format I'd prefer printed is comma separated X,Y, and the polygon area tool prints them slash separated X/Y.
