    Take a moment to study the Model browser at the left side of the graphics window. It displays both the part origin and the sole feature in the part, Sketch1. Click the + button to the left of the Origin folder name to expand the item. Notice that the center point of the part (X=0, Y=0, Z=0), the origin planes, and origin axes are displayed in the browser. Each of the browser elements highlights in the graphics window as you move your cursor over them.

    NoteThe Origin elements appear dimmed in the browser. Although their visibility is turned off by default, they are still active. You can turn on the visibility by right-clicking over any one of them and activating the corresponding Visibility check box in the pop-up context menu. It is not necessary to turn them on for this exercise, however.
