Activating Auxiliary Coordinate Systems (Without Using AccuDraw)

You can define an ACS using the following techniques:

Save the AccuDraw drawing plane as an ACS.
Type the ACS origin in the Auxiliary Coordinates dialog Drawing > Drawing Aids > ACS dialog launcher .
Enter data points to define the ACS axes.
Align the ACS with an element, view, or reference.

This topic covers the latter three techniques.
