Coordinate system:

In this group box, the coordinate system assigned via the page type is selected by default. You can temporarily switch coordinate systems, which influences the position of the base point (coordinate origin).

  • Graphic: The graphical coordinate system has its origin on the lower left. Coordinate values are entered in the unit "mm".
  • Electrical engineering: The electrical engineering coordinate system has its origin in the upper left-hand corner of the drawing area. Coordinate values are entered in grid increments.
  • Fluid power: The fluid power coordinate system has its origin at the lower left. Coordinate values are entered in grid increments.
  • Process engineering: The process-specific coordinate system has its origin at the lower left. Coordinate values are entered in grid increments.
