Axes

The Axes option allows you to add horizontal/vertical axes with x-y coordinates, anywhere on a view.

To add Axes:

1. Select Axes from the toolbar menu or the Tools menu.
2. Enter the first point graphically with the mouse, or enter x,y coordinates in the prompt line.
3. As you move the mouse, scaled horizontal/vertical axes will be drawn between the point entered in step 2 and the current cursor location.
4. Enter the second corner graphically with the mouse, or enter x,y coordinates in the prompt line, and the Axes will be added to the view.
5. By default, Axes will initially display Global Coordinates corresponding to the coordinates of your model. Axes can also display Local Coordinates (lower left corner = 0, 0), with the Format Tool dialog.
