:
the grid is used to input the position of the axis. X, Y, and Z define
the coordinates of this position.
The Translation dialog box opens.
The following icons enable you to: -
(Compass Translation)
translate the compass according to the selected vertices. 
(Coordinates Alignment)
align the selected vertices according to X, Y, or Z coordinates.
When activated, the Compass at the
