World Axis ContextKeyCreator Prime / Content Menus / World Axis / World Axis ContextLocated in the lower right viewport this axis indicator indicates the world view. World coordinates are always relative to View 1 and represent real model space. The directions of X, Y, and Z axes are independent of the current working view. For example, if in View 8, Axonometric view, all three axes will be skewed to the screen. World View Axis Context Menu OptionsZoom Fit
The Zoom Fit feature is used to change the scale of the viewport so that the entire working part fits in the viewport within the screen display limits:

CPlaneLists functions used to define, ceate or modify CPlanes: Z Lock
This is a toggle function that allows you to switch between Z Lock , projecting construction positions to the active CPlane or not projecting to the active CPlane, (Z Free). World/CPlaneUse this function to set CPlane or World coordinates. CPlane: This setting constructs the entity in Construction Plane coordinates. World: This setting constructs the entity in world coordinates, relative to View 1, top view. World coordinates are always relative to View 1 and represent real model space. The directions of X, Y, and Z axes are independent of the current working view. For example, if in View 8, Axonometric view, all three axes will be skewed to the screen. When you select CPlane/World, the coordinates system are automatically assigned to world coordinates. Icon changes showing a blue border when in this mode, disable by selecting CPlane/World. Shade
