How to bring the Coordinate system into the UI and the drawing

I can't find a way to have the coordinate system to be visible. Also, have the same problem in the drawing. 

Is there any way to bring it into the work zone as well as the technical drawing?

Can you clarify a bit what you are trying to achieve here?  In the Design workspace, the Origin (I assume that is what you mean by the coordinate system) can be made visible with the eye icon.

There is no way, today, that I know of to make the origin visible in the drawing, but I'll defer to the drawing experts on that one.  Again, interested to know what you hope to achieve with that information.  You can always put some geometry at the origin to represent the coordinate system (for instance, a sketch), but that is admittedly a hack.

Thanks @jeff_strater 

To clarify, I need to demonstrate the axes on my technical drawing specifically. I thought to bring it in by using notes options, but it looks a bit cumbersome to do that even. Would be great if option for displaying the origin can be added, or the drawing experts can help out.

Hi @fghadamli 

 

You can create a sketch in the model, projecting the Axes that you would like to show, then turn the sketch on in the drawing environment, see below:

clint-exposing a sketch for the ordinate is only going to work at certain scales.  eventually you need a longer line for it to be visible, but the sketch line only displays as a dashed line.

Hi @laughingcreek 

 

I'd really like to get a better understanding of this requirement. Would you be interested in talking to me about it?

If you're up for it, here is a link to my calendar, please book a session with me, and we can go over this on Zoom.

 

Another suggestion could be to project the Origin as a point and to use Ordinate dimensions, but again, I'd love to fully understand what you are trying to achieve.
