The UCS icon represents the orientation of the UCS axes and the location of the current UCS origin. It also represents the current viewing direction relative to the XY plane.
AutoCAD LT displays different coordinate system icons in paper space and model space. In both cases, a plus sign (+) appears at the base of the icon when it is positioned at the origin of the current UCS. The letter W appears in the Y portion of the icon if the current UCS is the same as the World Coordinate System.
A box is formed at the base of the icon if you are viewing the UCS from above (the positive Z direction). The box is missing if you are viewing the UCS from below.
If your view direction is edge-on to the current UCS, the coordinate system icon is replaced by a broken-pencil icon.
Turns on and turns off display of the coordinate system icon.
Applies changes to the icon in all active viewports. Otherwise, the UCSICON command affects only the current viewport.
Displays the icon at the lower-left corner of the viewport regardless of the true location of the UCS origin.
Displays the icon at the origin (0,0,0) of the current coordinate system. If the origin is off the screen, or if the icon cannot be positioned at the origin without being clipped at the viewport edges, the icon appears at the lower-left corner of the viewport.
