What direction does the xy axis represent?

The direction represented by the xy axis is the X axis and the north-south direction. The greater the x value on the coordinate, the farther north the point is, and the smaller the x value, the farther south the point is. The y axis is the east-west direction. The greater the value of y on the coordinate, the more eastward the point, the smaller the data of y, and the more westward the point.

Function of coordinate axis

A coordinate axis is a coordinate system used to define a set of straight lines or lines. The position of a point on a coordinate axis is uniquely determined by a coordinate value, while the position of a point on other coordinate axes is uniquely determined by a coordinate value, and other coordinate values on this axis are zero. The function of coordinate axis in design drawing is to effectively enlarge or narrow the design content.

Coordinate axis is the reference point for the position, rotation and scaling of one or more objects, through which we can make the objects change logically. When we select multiple objects, or multiple points, lines and faces on the surface of objects, by default, the software will take the center of the selected range as the pivot point.
