Default coordinate system Default coordinate system The Windows screen coordinate system has its origin in the upper left corner of the screen with the positive x-axis pointing to the right and the positive y-axis pointing down. This is the default coordinate system used by Meazure. If you prefer using a more familiar coordinate system, select the Invert Y item on the View menu. This will position the origin of the coordinate system in the lower left corner of the screen with the positive x-axis pointing to the right and the positive y-axis pointing up.
If the origin marker is displayed, its orientation reflects the orientation of the y-axis.
