    Selected Coordinate System Position

    Location of Origin in World Coordinates

    Current position of the selected UCS origin in relation to the origin of the WCS.

    X. Enter a value, either positive or negative, to change the X coordinate of the selected UCS origin relative to the WCS.

    Y. Enter a value, either positive or negative, to change the Y coordinate of the selected UCS origin relative to the WCS.

    Z. Enter a value, either positive or negative, to change the Z coordinate of the selected UCS origin relative to the WCS.

    Axis Directions

    Flip X Axis. Flips current X axis 180°.

    Flip Y Axis. Flips current Y axis 180°.

    Flip Z Axis. Flips current Z axis 180°.

    Offset Selected Coordinate System

    Move Selected Coordinate System from Current Location by

    X. Type the number of units to move the origin relative to the X axis.

    Y. Type the number of units to move the origin relative to the Y axis.
