Draw Axes
The Axes option allows you to add x,y,z axes with x,y,z coordinates, anywhere in the Viewport. To add Axes:
- Select Draw Axes from the Annotate menu.
- Enter the first point graphically with the mouse. , or enter x,y coordinates in the prompt line.
- As you move the mouse, scaled x, y and z axes will be drawn between the point entered in step 2, and the current cursor location.
- 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.
- 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.
NOTE: the Snap options can be used to snap exactly to specific points or objects.
After an Axes object has been added, it can be formatted, moved, re-sized or deleted. See the Edit Tools Overview topic for details.
