The Internal Origin marker should be Red when there is a User Origin or Geo-referencing affecting the file.

 

Discuss.

 

Not every one wants to see the rulers, but arguably should know where there origin is.  Yellow warning sign is often overlooked, ignored, not understood.

 

Blue Internal Origin = good.

 

Red = bad, or rather you need to find out why it is Red.

Would a red Internal Origin marker be better understood?

 

The RGB axes are a fairly clear indication of the location of the User Origin aren't they?

Automatic warning pop ups/clear indicators that something is wrong such as this would be a good addition. So many forum questions are answered by 'you have objects too far from the origin / your origins aren't set up properly'. More and more regular training videos/webinars to explain the importance and how to set up properly would, I think, save a lot of people a lot of trouble!

Trouble is there seems to be quite a bit if disagreement as to what the best 'set up' is. 😉

As as it disturbs so much in screenshots render modes.

On the other hand, Tools > Show Origin, that perfect shymarker is an often

used feature for me. And I never understood why it is only available in 2D top plan.

RGB axes are just to large and colourful. And to complicated to control

their visibility.

 

But it could be worse.

Bricscad has a small nice RGB axes option ..... that usually marks 0,0,0

But first you can't snap to the origin and second, when panning/zooming the View

away from origin, the marker will jump near to left bottom of the view and make

you confident drawing near origin, no matter if you are 20 m or 3 parsecs away

from origin ......
