X, Y, and Z coordinate system in a solidworks drawing

Out of category

Hello

1 - Can you tell me how to display the X, Y and Z coordinate system in a solidworks drawing? I would like to have the same X, Y and Y mark on a view of my drawing , identical to the three arrows (red, green, blue) in the plane of the part or assembly.

2 - I would also like to add a positioning tolerance in X, Y and Z on a drawing of a part that is a kind of original for my assembly. For example, a key part of my study must be positioned at + or - 0.2mm in relation to an origin (virtual, not shown) in X, Y and Z, should the following anodation be added (see image).

Thanks in advance

The coordinate system must be created and displayed in the ASM (or prt) and allowed to be displayed in the drawing.

Ok but this one doesn't display anymore when I export to PDF and I didn't see a print option that allows me to display it.

Hello

Maybe you have it with the defpoints layer that appears on the screen but doesn't print.

Oops my answer is put 2 times...

Hello

A priori I don't have a defpoints layer and all my layers are printable. on the other hand I can't define a layer for the coordinate system (or for an axis, a point... Made in the room plan or ASM) from the drawing.

I just got around my problem by  modeling an X, Y and Z coordinate system that I place in my asm and that way I can change its appearance, size, colors etc. 

thank you for your help

To complete my answer (I had never had the opportunity to test), I have to import the coordinate coordinate object of the model but unlike the axis or the plane the option does not exist.

I believe that the solution is the one you have chosen.
