The box at the top of the Digitizer Setup dialog box displays a list of control points that you created. The box displays the X and Y coordinates for each point. The coordinates display in the units set with the Map Units drop-down list.

The box also indicates the error for each point. The error is in paper units, which you specify in the system preferences.

Control Points

The Control Points box has buttons that allow you to add a control point, edit a control point, remove a control point, or clear all control points.
