Use the UCSICON command to choose between displaying the 2D or the 3D
UCS icon. The shaded UCS icon is displayed for a shaded 3D view. To indicate
the origin and orientation of the UCS, you can display the UCS icon at the
UCS origin point using the UCSICON command.
The UCS Icon and Multiple Viewports
If you have multiple viewports, each viewport displays its own UCS icon.
Display and Hide the UCS Icon
In some circumstances, you might need to hide the UCS icon. With the
UCSICON command, you can turn off the UCS icon in a single viewport or
all viewports. Each layout also provides a UCS icon in paper space.
You can also hide the UCS icon based on the current visual style, and whether
perspective is turned on. Three system variables are available:
Use UCS2DDISPLAYSETTING to hide the UCS icon when the current visual
style is 2D Wireframe.
Use UCS3DPARADISPLAYSETTING to hide the UCS icon when perspective
(PERSPECTIVE) is turned off in a viewport with a 3D visual style.
Use UCS3DPERPDISPLAYSETTING to hide the UCS icon when perspective
is turned on in a viewport with a 3D visual style.
NOTE These system variables take precedence over the UCSICON setting in
viewports with certain visual styles.
You can also hide the UCS icon when the current visual style is set to 2D
Wireframe with the UCS2DDISPLAYSETTING system variable.
