How do I add the origin with the coordinates on a map?

Hello, I am currently making a plan on Solidworks and I would like to integrate the origin of the part with the x, y and z axes?

How can I do it, thank you very much.

Hello Augustin, welcome to the forum!

It is possible in a drawing to display the origin as well as the coordinate systems that could have been created in the model:

Hello, thank you very much but I have already done this but when publishing in pdf the contact details are more visible do you have a solution?

At home (SW2022 SP5), the origins are on the pdf but I told you that you have to take out the magnifying glass to see them... however, this is not the case for coordinate systems.
A trick would be to use a drilling table that would finally be hidden (outside the printing area I mean because hiding the table also hides the marking). this would allow you to have a visible X-Y marker.

Another trick is to create a sketch/3D block saved in the Solidworks library and then call it when needed and place it in the right place (basically, there is no " ready-made ", it's up to you to create it unfortunately)

Hello;

Wouldn't the easiest thing be to create a block (or rather 3 blocks for 2D representations) to insert into your drawings?
In this way, it will be possible to manage its dimensions (scales) and use it for dimensioning.

Kind regards

Note: Sorry @coin37coin , I hadn't seen/read your answer before proposing mine ... :crazy_face:
