can manipulate the UCS icon using grips. This is controlled by the UCSSELECT-
MODE

NOTE
If the location of the UCS origin is not visible in a viewport, the UCS icon is
displayed in the lower-left corner of the viewport instead.
Different coordinate system icons are displayed in paper space and model
space. In model space, you can choose between 2D and 3D icon display styles

Properties (page 1080) option):

plane is edge-on to the viewerthe 2D UCS icon is replaced by a broken
pencil icon.
