Hi @Matej ,

Would it be very difficult to **display** a user/local coordinate system Triad once it is created in the Calculix Keyword Editor ?

Perhaps the new coordinate system could be included in the tree on the left and the Triad displayed in the model 3D space when you click on the tree entry. I am just not sure where/how in 3D space would be appropriate to display it.

I know that it has been requested before in [Visualize User Defined Coordinate Systems](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/visualize-user-defined-coordinate-systems/618)  
but I was hoping that it has moved up on the “To-do List” 🙂

Adding a tool to understand the keywords entered by the user is challenging. Many different possibilities need to be accounted for. That is why there is a GUI for the user to add supported features.

The user-defined coordinate systems will be supported in the next developer version, which will be available in a few days.

Local coordinate systems are fully available now so I’m closing this FR as completed.
