The Coordinate Icon marks the current point from which an action will be performed. In other words, it identifies the current reference point when using the Commander. By default, this icon is turned off. If you plan to use the Commander while working, you should turn on the Coordinate Icon.
To display the Coordinate Icon:
Select Settings > Program Settings or click the Program Settings button on the Settings toolbar.
In the Program Settings dialog, select the Drawing Aids tab.
In the Visual Aids area, check the Show Coordinate Icon check box.
Click OK.
