origin of work plane?

Is there a quick way to locate the origin/reference surface or feature of a
work plane. If I click on a work plane it will highlight but the location
that it came from is not revealed. If I double click it I get the offset
value, but where that value is from is not revealed.

I can get the measure tool out and start checking, but when you have a cloud
of planes this can really be a PITA.

Good advice greatly appreciated. TIA

Rename the work plane.
e.g. XZ+0.25 = offset from origin XZ 0.25, that's what I do.

I do that now, but I didn't in the paste ;>(..... Just seems like there
should be some sort of visual que like placing constraints?

Thanks for the reply.

I agree. But better than constraints which are poor on the visual.
