Function Description:

This command is used to control the visibility, position, appearance, and option of the UCS icon.
The UCS icon displays the position and direction of the current UCS.
The coordinate system is different in paper space and model space. In the model space, user can switch between 2D and 3D styles.

  • 2D: If the UCS is the same as the WCS, the letter Z in the UCS is replaced by the letter W. If rotating the UCS to make the Z axis on a plane that parallel to the viewing plane (in other word, the XY plane seems as a line for observer), the 2D UCS icon becomes a break sketch.

- 3D: If the current UCS is the same as the WCS, looking down the UCS (the positive direction of the Z axis), the origin in the XY plane displays as a box, looking up the UCS, the box disappears.
