Mouse click coordinates identify a fixed position on the screen with an X value and a Y value. Free Auto Clicker v8.0.0 records the pointer position when you press F7, then uses those coordinates for automatic clicks.

What are X and Y mouse coordinates?
The X coordinate describes the horizontal position, while the Y coordinate describes the vertical position. Together, the two numbers identify one point on the current screen layout. Free Auto Clicker stores each recorded pair in its X-Y List.
| Value | Direction |
|---|---|
| X | Horizontal position from left to right |
| Y | Vertical position from top to bottom |
How to capture a mouse click coordinate
- Open Free Auto Clicker and the target desktop application.
- Position and size the target window exactly as you intend to use it.
- Move the mouse pointer to the control or location that should receive a click.
- Press F7.
- Check that a new X-Y coordinate appears in the list.
- Repeat the process if you need additional locations.
Press Delete when you need to clear the current list. If you want to keep the recorded coordinates, save them as an FAC file before starting a new sequence.
Why coordinates can become inaccurate
A saved coordinate refers to a screen position, not to a named button. The position can become incorrect when the target window moves, resizes, scrolls, opens a different dialog, or uses a changed display layout. Windows display scaling and monitor arrangements can also change where a recorded point lands.
Keep the target in a stable position during a run. After changing resolution, display scaling, monitor layout, or window size, clear the old list and record the coordinates again.
Use several X-Y points in one sequence
Every time you press F7, Free Auto Clicker adds another coordinate. The application follows the X-Y List in order, making it possible to click several fixed locations in a repeatable sequence. See the multi-point auto clicker instructions.
Troubleshooting coordinate problems
A click lands beside the target
Stop with F8, place the window in its final position, delete the old point, and record it again with F7.
A coordinate is correct but the action is missed
The target may need more time to process the previous action. Increase the click interval and test again.
The wrong mouse button is used
Verify whether Left or Right is selected before starting. Coordinate recording and mouse-button choice are separate settings.
