Coordinates area

Machine Coordinate System (MCS) check box | When you select the Machine Coordinate System (MCS) check box, PC-DMIS displays the information in the machine's coordinate system, not the part coordinate system. This check box switches between these coordinate systems. Deselecting it will once again display the information in the part's coordinate system.
Use Polar Coordinates check box | When you select the Use Polar Coordinates check box, PC-DMIS switches between rectangular and polar coordinates. When polar coordinates are used, the normal direction of the workplane is also displayed.
